Celebrities!

Subways are AWESOME!


No jet lag for these travelers, unlike the commuters on this subway.



The Children's Grand Park was our first stop! This is just one of many playgrounds in the midst of a zoo, an arborarium, restaurants, an amusement park, and MANY other attractions.


These flowers pale at the beauty of Sarah!


The handsomeness of this camel pales at the handsomeness of Noah.


These children are pretty cute, but just look at this cow! J/K


Elder Biesinger and I went to bed Saturday night, and when we woke up Easter morning, we found this awesome treat on our table. Easter grass, origami baskets, and candy. Wow! Thank you!


Grandpa Kanyanga gives great bear hugs, and Noah does a pretty good job, too.


A "Forever Family" is a beautiful sight in front of the Seoul Korea Temple.



How come they got the table with a view? I was sitting on the floor! Members working in Seoul invited a group of us to dinner. Afterwards, Sarah colored eggs with some of the women, and Noah played games with some of the others. It was so much fun!


This guy is not as scary as he looks. The guard is rather nice, too!


The is one of four palaces. This is where celebrityhood began. We stopped many, many, many times as the children PATIENTLY posed for pictures. Most 'fans' were young, but a large group of older Chinese men and women took pictures for a good ten minutes.


I figured if they could take pictures of us, we ought to take pictures of them.



I wonder what these cute guys are photographing.


Of course! My cuties! (Sarah, these guys are way too old for you. Sorry.)


This river runs through the middle of town. These children run through the middle of town. They have so much energy. It was just after this that we were locked in the famous Pyeonghwa Market building with no way out. Ask us about it!


Next stop, the Aquarium in Coex Mall. Yes, these fish are piranha!


And yes, this is a tw0-headed turtle.


This is at a Buddhist Temple.
The next day we took the 5500-1 bus to Suwon and the Traditional Korean Village.


Two very traditional Americans are enjoying their traditional Korean surroundings.


They were great sports when it came to eating some very traditional Korean food. They were pros with the chopsticks.


No subways, computers, or traffic here.


This lazy river reminded me of Tom and Huck.


Don't ask me why I included this picture. I guess I thought Noah would like it if I did.
Ask him about this particular mask. He has a great story.

We found the traffic. It was at the edge of the village. Yep, another amusement park.



Sarah supports the troops at the War Memorial Museum!


This is the year of the tiger. If you are 60 this year, you are extra lucky.


Noah is being recruited. I hope he has his wings.


Spring is such a great time of year.


Sarah and I loved the flowers.


After all the walking around, only these two had the energy for more workout.


Yes, these are two very seasoned travelers prepared for whatever comes.


Oops! Somebody ate too much kimchi!


Wow! That week went so-o-o-o fast. But we will see you all again very soon!
