Our International Ladies group matriarchs accompanied us to the Cosmos & Buckwheat Festival. A website describes the festival as this:
Bukcheon Cosmos and Buckwheat Festival is one of the best autumn festivals in Hadong-gun, a district located in Jikjeon-ri, Bukcheon-myeon. This year's festival prepares fantastic cosmos and buckwheat flowers to welcome a million visitors to autumn.
We started the day by taking a short train ride.
The train ride was short and pleasant with nice scenery.
There were some fun lights as we traveled through a tunnel.
The top was decorated pretty.
Then it was time for the rail car.
We took the same track on the way down as the way up. This is the exit/entry to the tunnel.
When you're going slower on the way down the lights seem a lot more psychedelic.
Maybe even a little drug-inspired. I sorta felt like I was in Charlie's Chocolate Factory.
Alas, I live to talk about it.
Linda, Sarah and Laetitia and I made it to the bottom.
The train station was so colorful and festive.

Around the corner from the train was the festival. The festival is promoting farming. Those are all pumpkins in each little cubby hole.
This is a different kind of pumpkin than we have at home. More of a dull color and more squatty.
Look at the size of this gourd.
These pumpkins are doozies, too.
Snack time. We had pumpkin soup and some type of pumpkin omelette-type thing.
This building was like a big ship. Why a ship? No clue.
I'm the king of the world!

We ran across a couple making some interesting music and singing.
This thing was a test to see basically see how fat you are. The idea is to see which one you can squeeze through. It starts with 17.35cm and goes up to 34.29cm. The last two signs read, 'big size' and 'no answer.' No mincing words here.
Happy fall, y'all!
