Namsan Park and Tower

We took advantage of the cool fall weather today and made a trip to Namsan Park.  This is a park in the center of the city.  Sort of a haven in this concrete jungle we live in.  We weren't quite sure where to go so we just parked at the bottom of the hill and headed up the steps.  A lot of steps

The park is situated on a hill so there is a lot of walking up and down.  But it was peaceful and a great day to get out for some fresh air.  We managed to find our way to the cable car which can take you up to the top of the mountain and access to Namsan Tower.  Its like a space needle with an observation deck on top.  

We were packed into the cable car like sardines and Mark and I felt we were truly testing the weight limits on the cable.  It was a quick and smooth ride up to the top of the mountain and then up more steps to the tower.  We stopped for a snack.  Thank heaven we brought our own, as you'll see the snack of choice in the pictures below.  

Overall it was a really nice hike and view.  Here is a sample of the pics we took today.  But if you're interested here is a link with more to view:
