Photo Update

 So this is our Photo Update.  Eliza and I have sure been busy.  Check out all that we have done this week.


To the left, you can see us during our day trip to the city of Gyeong-ju, (the old capital during the Shilla Dynasty).


Behind us is Bulgoksa temple.  It's a UNESCO world Heritage Site.










To the right, the Jagalchi Fish Market.  This place is famous for it's fresh caught fish.  Together we enjoyed some very nice fried fish, eel, and rice.

We also happened to be walking in the market during the second typhoon of Eliza's stay.  Eliza was hit by a leaf...it was sad.

Here we are enjoying dinner at the restaurant owned by one of my co-teachers.  Eliza is improving with her Chopstick skills!  This was her first time to try Quail Egg, Pig's Feet, and Marinaded Octopus.

You grab the meat and wrap it in the leaf, then enjoy.

After a long day of hiking, we came to the South Gate of the old fortress of Busan.  Eliza took this awesome photo from the ramparts of the South Gate.  You can see the recently restored city walls complete with flags.  So nice!

Eliza loves me!

At Seokorim Grotto Eliza got the opportunity to ring the monk's ceremonial bell.  She had to lift this really really heavy log and let gravity do the rest.  The bell continued to ring for quite some time afterward.  And you could feel the vibrations.  So cool!

Lastly, we visited the beautiful Summer Palace at Anapji pond.  Can you just imagine visiting as royalty one summer night and seeing this?  Ooooh!  So jealous.

The Palace was designed to have a perfect reflection off of the pond after dark.  And I think they were definitely successful!
