Beautiful Seoul . . .
John and Barb posed in front of a statue of King Sejong (who invented the Korean written language in 1450 AD) at the Deoksugung palace (photo 1) where the changing of the guard is an impressive display of korean culture (photo 2). Alicia Banas from the Phillippines and Karen Pennington from the US join Barbara to have their picture taken with the captain of the guards (Photo 3). The archway leading to a palace garden is typical Korean architecture (photo 4). Driving along the wide Seoul streets on clear days, we see the beautiful mountains -- just like home!!!
