After a great time in Seoul, we went to stay with Young Ok's cousin Ok Soon and her husband in Sanbon in Gyeonggi-do, just out of Seoul.
On Saturday, we had a great morning walk part of the way up Mt. Suri. We then headed for Chungcheongnam-do to stay with Young Ok's mother in Seonjang. We visited some more family on the way. We visited Inju Myeon (Village or Town) where Young Ok's grandmother used to live and, while there, visited her grandmother's cousin who still lives on a farm in the area.
