Skies and clear tide

On the last day of our adventure we headed back to the beach. As soon as we go to Samcheok, this was where we went, and it was where we took the trip to let it die. The hotels were all boarded up and empty, us the only ones reveling in the season they call off.

We built a sandcastle then stomped it down to rubble, walked out to the lifeguard tower. Could not stop staring at the sea-blue colour, our toes beneath the clearest tide. With the clock ticking to our exit, we hailed a cabby, sand covering all our feet.
