Sunday April 11, 2010 Dangin~ Family Day

Although we posted photos earlier, we have yet to write about April 11th in Dangin. We began the day by visiting a female temple. The female monks gave us a dignified formal tea ceremony. The temple was elegant in the traditional style. There was a kindergarten school nearby. Host families brought their children along for the day, so it was a delightful day with cheerful, well- behaved children. Next, we toured a winery where rice wine called makali is made. We were given samples to take with us for the farewell dinner. Our next stop was at a pear tree farm. We toured the farm and dyed t-shirts and a handkerchief with orange clay. Next we took a hot sauna in a room with a heated floor. Later we had a large, festive Rotarian farewell dinner where we all toasted one another. We thanked our home stay families for yet one more magnificant time in Korea.
