fun stuff we did.

When we were in Seoul with Luke's parents we got to go to an old, famous palace. It was freezing at the time, but still really cool to see.

Us in front of the entrance.

I think we make pretty good warriors.
That's how cold it was. In the back- that look and painting is how all old
Korean architecture looks. It's really intricate and cool looking.


We also got to go to the DMZ. The DMZ is the demilitarized zone in between North and South Korea. Basically it acts as a buffer and nobody is allowed to cross it. It's about 2.5 miles wide. So we got to stand on the South Korean side and look out to the North. We couldn't really see much because it's always foggy in that area, but still pretty cool. We also got to walk down into the tunnels that the North Koreans built after/during the war which were originally intended to be used for North Korean troops to invade the South. Good thing they discovered those, right? Anyway, there is no photography allowed down there, so we couldn't get any pictures.


Koreans have one dream- to see their country united. This is a kind of monument outside the DMZ representing the hope they have that one day they will be reunited.
