Today was very enjoyable. We were presented at the Gunpo City Council. During the question and answer time our students asked a lot of very questions-I was quite proud. We presented the City Council with a framed piece of petrified wood from the Saddle Mountains.
One of the most enjoyable things about the day today was just hanging out around Gunpo with our new friends. Korean ice cream shops are the best!!
In the afternoon, we had a fabulous calligraphy lesson. The teacher explained to us that to become an expert at Korean calligraphy, one must study for 10 years! The kids really enjoyed themselves and will all have souveniers to share. There were lots of smiles and laughter during this activity.
At the end of the day, we had our farewell dinner with Mayor Ro. It was nice to meet him. His greeting spoke of the bond between Grant County and Gunpo and how much he values it. We hope to see Mayor Ro and his delegation in Grant County very soon!
See you all again next week when the Gunpo delegation visits Grant County!!

Another year of the exchange coming to a close. Hard to believe. I know you'll have them in Grant County soon, so it isn't over yet. Hope the flight is uneventful and that you are all back home safe and sound soon.
What kinds of things do you have planned for them this year?
Are you going to keep up the blog when you get back home?
Thanks for the well wishes! Flying, as you know, is stressful for me.
We have added some new things this year, such as skateboarding and a dairy farm. We're also going to Leavonworth mid-trip and staying the night at the YD camp. I'm excited about our schedule! Yes, I plan to keep up the blog while in Grant County, but might miss a night or two with our overnight trips we have planned.
It's been fun blogging with you!!
I've enjoyed and appreciated it more than I can tell you, Carol.
Thank you.
