Mystery Solved

Today’s our last full day in Korea. We’re going to try and squeeze in one last expedition out this morning and then come back to my in-laws’ house so we can put E down for a nap and I can put my Tetris skillz to good use and cram significantly more into our suitcases than they held on the trip over. (Wish me luck.) And in a weird bit of time-traveling after spending 16+ hours in transit we’ll arrive in Salt Lake a whole 5 minutes before we left Pusan, local time-wise.

I feel badly that posting was mostly nonexistent for most of this trip–I really should have brought a card reader with me so I could have posted photos. But on the plus side I have a ton of stuff to post about next week and even a small giveaway of a few things I picked up in Korea so check back next week.

In the mean time I saw this great article in the NY Times. It’s a feature about the family who lives in the pyramid at the top of Seattle’s Smith Tower. I’ve always wondered what it was like inside the top of the building every time I’ve driven past it. It turns out it’s awesome.


See you next week!

Photographic Evidence

So…I still haven’t found a card reader that will let me download photos from my camera but I have a few pictures N took on his phone.

The first morning we were here E excitedly tore around the house exploring and chasing his cousin Dylan and ran smack into the corner of a table which left the lovely mark you can see on his cheek. It’s healed over now but for a few days everywhere we went concerned ajummas would worriedly point it out to us in case we hadn’t noticed it before. You know, because they’re helpful like that.

These photos were from the Jagalchi fish market which is always an amazing place to wander–so amazing in fact that when my camera was acting up and refusing to work the first time we visited I wheedled N into stopping by yesterday so I could take some photos myself.

It’s about 10am here and we’re getting ready for a car expedition to one of the local Buddhist temples. I love meandering around temple grounds and snapping photos of E so it should be fun.
