so yesterday being chu-seak, we decided to go to a memorial park where they have a museum to get alittle history. so we hopped in the car and headed on our way. i dont remember directions very well but rick always does. rick and i work that way, his weaknesses are my strengths and vice versa, so i did not question if we were going the right way. we started winding up this very narrow road quickly, very steep, not a road i remember from our tour with his friend. as we are going along, i realize we are going the wrong way on a one way road, only wide enough for 1 car and we are now up high in the mountains, no way to turn around and when i say it was steep, i mean steep, steeper than i have ever been. now, i dont think i have ever been called a drama queen, nor do i think i am typically a person who over reacts to situations, but that was about to change. normally, i would say nothing, or not too much about the situation and let it play out, but i have this completely unreasonable fear of falling off the side of a highway/road that i have had for the past couple of years and rick did know about but i'm not sure if anyone else does. i began saying things like, "oh my god, slow down, oh my god, were going to fall!! were going the wrong way" all the time feeling seriously sick to my stomach until finally rick said,"i know and you have to stop because you dont want to get me freaked out, its not a good idea right now!!!" ethan is in the back going "why ya freaked out mom over and over and maybe i was going to hyperventilate. i could not work out in my head how i could possibly survive, save us, nothing...it was crazy. if a car had come, it would have been bad. koreans drive really fast and we would not have been able to stop or see them coming, it was just too much of a winding road and too steep. some how, rick turned us around on this narrow road, i did not, could not watch. i was very upset.
so we finally found the road to the memorial park, but could not go because it was closed due to the holiday. we decided to go to the exercise machine park instead. it was a beautiful day, about 78 degrees, an acceptable amt of people at the park, and yes they were working out while the kids played, and we found this very cool little gazebo there to hike to. it was up on a mountain with a beautiful view and below it led down to a different area in the park where ethan could ride his bike and we could relax.
