Amazing Day!

We have had such a wonderful day here in Seoul. We would have made a huge mistake if we had not come. We had a wonderful breakfast at our hotel which is provided every morning and we are thankful.

We went on our city tour with our very sweet guide Jueun (June) The McNiel's from Iowa went with us           too.  They get their baby girl on Thursday.

You may think this is the peace sign but in Korea instead of saying "cheese" when you take a picture you say, "Kimchi" 

We went to the Deoksu Palace this morning.

This King created Hangul. Before, they used Chinese characters.

Jueun took us to the Nandaemun Market that we went to yesterday. It is huge, so today we saw some different streets. We were glad she was with us so she could tell us what all the foods were that they were selling on the streets. This is how they deliver food to others that order.

The picture above is in Insadong where she took us for lunch with authentic Korean food.

Check out that fish! The oldest son of the other couple said, "That fish still has eyeballs. That's pretty disturbing." We had several sides and soups as you can see. The main dishes were Bulgogi, Kimchi, pancakes, and the fish. It was all really good. My favorite was the Bulgogi ( Korean beef barbacue wrapped in lettuce.) YUM!  Jueun ordered and we all shared so we could try new foods. 

(Sorry if someone reads these Korean words and the spelling is wrong.) 

Koreans drink water out of bowls instead of glasses. 

Thanks for all the sweet comments! 17 hours until we meet Ella!
