Visit to Icheon

Our last trip with the KSSP group was the most exciting so far. Most of it was centered around the Icheon Pottery village where we visited a ceramics Expo and made our own bowls and pots out of clay. 
   
For Lunch, we got to go to a really fancy restaurant that had really good quality  local rice, but we had so many dishes in front of us that we did not notice the rice at all!.
 
We were also taken to a ceramic museum that had really beautiful architecture as well as the creative pottery displays. 

The necklace I got from the ceramic souvenir shop as well as a few other things for my Fam and friends.

After the Museum, we visited yet another temple nearby, but the significance of this one was that it was on low ground and not on a hilltop or mountain. We were lucky enough to witness a live ceremony while we were there as well as enter the temple and take a lot of pictures!
I met this man at another museum/village and he is the oldest person I have seen so far! He was 77 and spoke really good english and I had to document him. what a treasure. :)

That same night we stayed at a hotel in Icheon where we cooked dinner in groups for each other. The place we stayed at had 1 bedroom with one bed and 8 people  in the suite. So, only one person got the bed and the rest of us slept on floor bedding. Before the night was up, we decided to go for a stroll on the bridge at night, where Josh found lots of spiders, and I took pictures of the night lights.
And this is the view from our room! 

The next day we headed off to the Teian Beach, but that deserves whole new post!
I hope you enjoyed the pictures!
