Day 9

Friday brought us some very warm temperatures and high humidity. We kind of lazily went through our day to beat the heat. We ended the day with the bus breaking down! It wasn't a big deal as we were close to Gunpo and were picked up in a jiffy.

We started the day visiing Suwon city and the palace there. We were able to see an excellent military demonstratioin.

After touring around Suwon's famous wall, we went to a beautiful restaraunt for dinner. It has wonderful grounds with gardens, a wedding chappel, and this quaint water wheel and pond.

This weekend, the kids are all doing various activities with their home-stay families. It should be a lot of fun for them!

Awwwww the Kalbi restaurant! YUMM-O! And the grounds there are as peaceful and beautiful as the king's palace.

Hope your weekend was wonderful. Did Yoo-bin get back happily to her family? Did she leave before you all came, or did she ride with you over?

It has been so wonderful being with Yoo bin again. The house seems so empty without her. She left ML on June 17th. She has since started back to school. We all miss her terribly! She really became part of our family. Now, I have to say goodbye to her again, which makes me really sad...

I'm sure it makes her sad too, Carol. She is a special girl. I thought her last year of school was in America, does she have more to do in Korea?

*HUGS* I'm sure it's going to be a difficult goodbye.
