Culture Trip

This weekend was our (EPIK teachers in the Gangwon-do Providence) culture trip.  It was packed with eating, various events (Nanta performance, History of Seoul Museum tour, Police Museum, Lantern Festival...to name a few...), eating, visiting palaces, eating, a little bit of shopping, and more eating.  

I do not remember all of the palaces that we visited, but one was Gyeonghuigung Palace and the other was Gyeongbokgung Palace (this was the biggest by far).  Near this palace was the President's residence, which is called "The Blue House" (see the very last picture).

One of the many palaces visited......

I'm starting to enjoy photography.....



Seoul Lantern Festival......the amount of people present was unbelievable!
All of these are lanterns....definitely works of art to say the least.... 




Me being silly during some down time....
The President's residence.  On the other side of this mountain is
North Korea.....they tried to invade to assassinate him, but failed.  The security is very heavy.

On a sad note, Baby Harper, for whom I asked you to pray for, passed away Wednesday.  Thank you for all of your prayers and I ask that you please continue to keep her mother and father in your thoughts and prayers.
