We had a great time in Korea. It was mostly go, go, go; but as you can see from the picture below, we had some relaxing time too!
We went to several museums. Here was one that had the country flower in front of a bunch of Korean flags.
It was really hard to get used to the currency. There is about 1200 won for 1 USD. So this bill is only worth about $8!
We ate Kimchee for almost every meal. Even for breakfast. John was in heaven! Dana probably won't be able to eat Kimchee for a long time though!
We went with John's family (all 16 of us) to an island just South of Korea called Jeju island. This picture below is the dormant volcano that formed this island. The whole island was so green and lush.
We had a lot of fun with John's family - many of whom we met for the first time. We rented a 2 story house and all slept on the floor. Here's our first night, about midnight. John took on his look-a-like cousin at arm wrestling. It was a tie!
This was a beautiful forest we walked through. These poles were some kind of laughing poles, so were laughing when this picture was taken.
It was also very hot there, so here is John sticking his head in a stream out of desperation to cool off!
Here is a seafood soup they fed us one day for lunch. We love crab and shrimp, but aren't big fans of ripping heads off to eat their insides! A lot of rice was consumed by us that meal!
Growing up in land-locked NM, I, Dana, am not very big on fish. So, what do you get when you're at a fish market and are overcome by the smell and you just saw the eel flopping around and you can't eat it even though it's cooked? They graciously ordered me noodles with some kind of sweet thick black sauce on it! Boy, I wish I liked fish!
