pictures

normally on saturdays and sundays tova and i take looooong walks (minimum 4 miles) around our city and take many many pictures. unfortunately we havent had time to put up all the pictures on our picasa site (if you want the links to check them out just send us a note) so here are some of the best pictures that are, as of yet, unavailable.

this is probably my favorite picture that we have taken. it is on top of Beombawi. Beombawi is a very famous rock by the lake that locals say looks like a tiger lying down. from the top of the rocks you have a great view of the mountains . . .

the characters (i've been told) are chinese characters. i dont know how old they are or what it says, but its pretty darn cool!

this next picture was taken not too long after our HUGE snowstorm (i say blizzard and people laugh :-( ) but it was a blizzard!

the picture was taken just a short walk behind our apartment. the views are amazing here.

this next picture was taken by my school. they still use these carts to move things around the city.

closer to our apartment when you walk towards the main road the mountains really come in to view

in the morning since the mountains face east, the sun really highlights the mountains and makes them look wonderful!

by our apartment is a wonderfully beautiful lake as well as the mountains. around the lake many people walk to work out. this statue is one of many monuments around the lake.

and lastly, we were walking towards my school and looked down a street and there was the EAST SEA!!! we knew we were close, but we didnt realize how close we were, so we decided to take a detour

we were lucky to have someone ask us if they wanted them to take a picture of us, so here we are by the east sea. we are loving all our adventures here, and will put up more pictures when we have time (its laborious work!
