A day visit to the country-side near Boeun

To fulfill my little wish to see the country side and plucking fruits, my parents-in-law suggested us to go visit my mil's sister's home which is near Boeun. The journey from Daejeon to the aunt's place is about 1 hour drive away. Time did not feel that long as we sang and hummed to the Korean oldies music.

When we arrived, uncle just harvested a batch of the rice and he was busy with the milling process to remove the rice husk. We took our chance to take a picture with the tractor.

His uncle used to be an engineer but because he was passed down a large piece of land and he wanted to make good use of it, he decided to do this full time, of course he hired some people to helped out. 

Look at the vast field of land behind us... makes me love yellow even more. Air is so fresh and "earthy". There are hardly any sound except the occasional vehicles passing by and welcoming buzz from the carefree dragonflies. Besides eating fresh dates, I also attempted to pluck the persimmons. 

On our way back, we passed by a carnival. The people were celebrating dates festival. Harvesting red dates can be a huge thing and worth celebrating. There is even a bulls fighting arena.

Well, an apple lover who happens to also be a "city bumpkin" needs to take photo with it. (아버님 stopped the car in the middle of the way back just to let me take this photo. ^^)
