We thought we'd try to post a few photos to show you some of the things we've been doing.
This is the view on the way down from Seoul Tower. It is one of the world's tallest free-standing towers and has amazing views of Seoul.
This is of a building of a palace we visited and the changing of the guard ceremony.
This is of an artist making Simon's name scroll, a traditional piece of Korean artwork
Shopping at a market
The neighborhood we are staying in
We went to the Korean War Memorial and Museum. It is a really nice museum and was absolutely over-run with school children on class trips. They were so cute and so interested in us. Many tried to practice their English on us. Some just looked at us like we were aliens :-)
We went to the Seoul Museum of Art, hoping to see some Korean art. Well, there was a Monet exhibit there which took up almost all of the gallery space. There was only one gallery that had Koren art displayed. Oh well, we tried.
Hopefully these show up at a better size. We are off to another museum today and more shopping. We see Simon at 3:00 today for this pre-flight physical then we pick him up for good tomorrow.

Awesome photos! It sounds like you're having a blast in Korea! :)(HollyMarie from the BB)
Love the one w/ the signs at night. And I see the "alien," a tall caucasian guy w/ a beard and ponytail....
I'm laughing because you're all geeked about the Korean kids and snapping pics of them - we did the same thing in China. No, they weren't OUR kids, but they were CHINESE kids :-)
We're thinking of you every step of the way. It really helps to see what you're seeing and experiencing. "Sterkte" in the days ahead.
Love, Mum/Oma and Rich/Opa Rich
