Great day in andong
Nice place to visit but it is a long way from Seoul so be prepared for a long day. Trip was nice in a very good car. Our guide was a former military officer and we had a lot of good discussions. His English was very good. Overall a very good experience. We had lunch of Mackerel that was delicious and local apples that are out of this world good. Great day in andong.

Seoul countryside with Jimmy!
Going to Andong-so going there requires a long car drive- and Jimmy made the ride exceptional. He’s easy to talk to and great at explaining the history of the area. The time flew by! The Vilkage was serene and charming.. it was a gorgeous fall day so I really enjoyed walking around! Perfect day in Seoul ❤️
