A fun day at the Palace

Today I went to Seoul . . . . I love going to Seoul when the weather is really nice out.  I may have been the only person I saw wearing shorts all day.  . . . Walking into Dunkin Donuts wasn't so fun when it felt like a darn furnace, and it was 50 degrees outside.  No, I didn't eat any donuts, just picked up a bagel and a muffin to hold me over until dinner.  I got to meet one of my camp co-workers Holly and her boyfriend Amoele.  I am pretty sure I just butchered the guy's name, but he was pleasant to talk with at dinner.  He's a Frenchman, who recently received his master's degree in tourism, in Switzerland.

Anyway, I got to see my favorite place in Korea (or one of them).  Gyeonggbokgung Palace is always a good sight, on pretty days. Plus, I always get to practice my Korean with strangers, which is always good.  My favorite bookstore isn't too far away from there as well. So I picked up a few things to read, so I could get through the next few weeks.  It's a been a fun day, but the work starts back tomorrow.

I'll leave you with some pictures from the day. Pictures will come later, since my internet is jacked up at the moment.
