Saturday on Seon-ya-do Island

I've been so tired lately with all the extra work since Carrie's on vacation that I decided I didn't want to go anywhere this last weekend. But plans change, and I decided to go with friends to a small island off western Korea called Seon-ya- do. Only for the day though. No long weekender. We left Kunsan at 8:30 am on the ferry for the one hour and 30 minute ride over. Unfortunately, the weather didn't look so great--very overcast. It was a nice ride though. We arrived fairly early for the island (I guess) because there were no other visitors around. Everybody was fighting for our attention hoping we would rent their cart to tour us around. The island is actually a group of islands; three of which are inhabited. Total poputation of the three is around 900. The island was very beautiful but would have been so much nicer with sunshine and warm weather. The beach was very nice, but noone was on it. We ate an early lunch of fresh seafood and decided to rent motorscooters. At first I said no way, but eventually gave in. It was great fun! The only problem was the rain which came down in buckets as soon as we got on the road. OH well--next time. The ocean was rough with the stormy weather on the trip back, but we took naps on the floor in the passenger room (there is no furniture). It was great! The floor is heated!
