It's amazing to look at your pictures and to see you guys in a place on the other side of the world where I also have been - when I was in Korea we went to Gyeongbukgung Palace as well. Crazy!!! Looks like you are having an amazing time. Take care of that foot Smitty! Miss you both.

Mike's ankle is pretty much all better now, which is great! The weather here is still quite mild...on average in the low 20s during the day...mostly clear skies...much better than the weather at home :) Mom and Dad just left yesterday and we'll have more info on their trip soon!
