A late, but very thoughtful birthday surprise

Yesterday I spent my morning preparing a few dishes for a little potluck lunch with a local volunteer group that I used to be real active with. I've spent a little time with a few of the members lately, and so they surprised me with a little birthday cake, built with choco pie - a korean snack. I ate half of one, and was also presented with a cool homemade deal too. I'll let the pictures do the explaining. Also looks like I'll be adding a few extra posts this coming week as well. Oops!
The little notes came inside the homemade envelope.

Small problem on the bus!

Friday night was good to me. I haven't seen this two guys in the pics in about fifteen months. Very good guys.

Photos from the 21k hike

I did a hike by myself about a month ago, that was tough at the start and brutal going down at the end. In between was nice though. I covered a good 16k in 6 hours as opposed to the 7 hours the signage suggests. I had two nosebleeds, two glasses of rice wine,and a nice chat at the end with an older Korean man. Enjoy the pictures here. Peak to peak was 16k. Parking lot to parking lot was about 21k.

And the WKU red towel is finally getting its due. I joined two foreign ladies and my jiu jitsu teammate Byung Tak for a nice little hike today.
