Walking Adventures

Sunday. We decided to walk the outer perimeter of the military base. Chris thought it was a great idea, but he didn't want to go. I didn't realize we were making assumptions. So Michele and I headed out Gate 10 and turned right. We soon discovered that the blue stripes on the sidewalk indicated that we were walking in the bike lane.
After a while, we got thirsty and we spied a 7-Eleven across the street. There was a pedestrian bridge so we crossed over and went in. Almost everything was in Korean. We chose a large bottle that looked like tea. I figured it was sweet tea because it had a small picture of corn on the side. Well, it turned out to be unsweetened tea with an after taste of popcorn! Michele actively disliked it. I was hot and thirsty enough to drink a fair amount. We decided to save the rest for Chris. We walked on.
After awhile, the cement and barbed wire wall disappeared and a cute fence took its place. We started to wonder if we were lost. We came upon a sidewalk vendor selling drinks and made safer selectons. I forgot that these people do not deal in small change. So we paid $1 each for .70 drinks. I realized later that he was trying to tell us we could have another can for the .60 in change he owed us.
When we walked past the National Museam of Korea, we got worried. Still following the side walk, we took the next right and the concrete wall reappeared. When we got to Gate 17, the sidewalk ended and some sort of construction began. We had been walking for 90 minutes by then and decided to call it a day. We still didn't know where we were, so we walked around and found a post bus stop. I sat while Michele read the schedule. Each stop has the same schedule posted. So it is confusing to figure out which time applies to you at this stop. She read that the schedules don't apply to weekends and holidays. So we walked on. Then the bus arrived, but it was too hot to run for it. We called Chris but he didn't know where we were either. When we passed the post hospital, we knew we were on the other side of the post. It was a long hot walk back, but we made it.
Afterwards, Michele and Chris went to see a movie and I read a book. At 8pm we went to the pool and sat in the hot tub and sauna. I haven't figured out why the dressing rooms have mirrored walls. Talk about no privacy! It is one big open room with cabinet-type lockers and mirrors.
