Fall Break in Korea

 We thought maybe it would be a good idea to leave the below freezing temps of Mongolia for the warmer climes of  Korea. We arrive at Incheon and took the super convenient subway to Seoul. We stayed in the Insadong District, where just walking the streets, day or night, is a treat...

 

We walked over to the sprawling Changdeok Palace, just the biggest palace in Korea.

Then we subwayed over to the Express Bus Terminal and, after an hour at the nearby TechnoMart, we boarded our luxury bus to Sokcho, on the coast, where Typhoon Chaba was stirring things up. This is the view down the pier at Sockcho, on Monday. The bronze sculpture is called the Love Tree. Believe it or not, the night before we were sitting quietly at the base of the Love Tree, but this morning things were a little different! There actually is a rather large island somewhere behind those waves smashing into the pier...
