April 19 & 20, 2008

April 19-We drove to Yongsan in Seoul and parked at the Dragon Hill. When then walked over to the The War Memorial of Korea. The Korean people are very nice. They have an innocents about them that we in America are lacking. They love little kids and everywhere we go kids try to talk to Andrew to practice their English and they take pictures of Mark. Mark is like a movie star over here. The War Memorial was interesting. I'm glad we went. We then walked back over to Yongsan and went to the Dragon Hill for a very late lunch and relaxed in the little garden area. We tried to go to the Seoul Tower in Namsan Park but something was going on and we were not able to drive right to it and after walking the War Memorial we were not up for the hike. So, we headed home.

April 20-We got up and walked to church with some friends. After church we decided to drive to Daecheon Beach. It was a nice beach but for some reason a lot of the building were being taken down. Andrew enjoyed finding shells and making tunnels. Mark had many pictures taken again. We didn't have time to go to the harbor but we plan to go back. The drive was beautiful. It is still very different to see high raises in the middle of farm fields. We stopped at a rest area on the way back. The rest areas in Korea are happening places to be. I think it is because the traffic is so bad sometimes. People just need a break.
