Korea

Our first vacation while in Japan. We headed to Korea for 5 days and stayed at the Dragon Hill Lodge. While there the only thing that Alex wanted was a suit. We dropped our stuff off in the room and head to Itaewon. The next day we went on tour of Seoul. Jogye Temple is a Buddhist Temple. Then we went to Gyoengbok Palace built in 1394 and was used until 1895. We drove past the Presidential Blue House on our way to lunch, Alex was not too pleased with the lunch since it was "cook it your damn self." I on the other hand enjoyed the lunch and could not get enough. After lunch we went to another palace, Changdeok and the secret garden. Alex was a trooper since I made him walk through another palace. As Alex say "you see one temple or palace you have seen them all." Before the tour ended we headed to one of famous markets in Seoul, Namdaemun. We didn't get enough to really look around but it was pretty similar to the other asia markets. The following day we headed to the other side of the peninsula to hike a few mountains. Along the ways up the mountains we stopped at a few Buddhist temples.
