Gyeongju.
A view of Tumuli ParkWe have now returned from our lovely Chuseok holiday in Gyeongju, the capital of the 1000-yr. old Silla Dynasty. What you see above looks like an ordinary hill, but it is actually a tomb. In fact, this city is littered with tombs. This one is called Hwangnam Daechong, and it's actually the biggest tomb in Gyeongju (80 by 120 by 23 m--this pair of tombs). There were 59,000 relics excavated here! And this was just one of the 23 tombs in this particular park...

Beautiful scene, Aubrey. Looks like two lovely green bazooms! Very peaceful and serene.

That looks gorgeous, so peaceful. Glad you're back and hope you had a great time. And for goodness sakes, green bazooms, come on mom, please!
