vacation part 3!!!

soo here is my picture blog/take of our vacation. a little different twist on what tova has done, hope you enjoy!

First day on vacation we walked around the lake, and here is my impersionation of the sokcho dude!

we then visited a traditional village


we then when to sokcho beach:

we then hiked all the way up to a cave on the side of a mountain. CRAZY!

more views of seoraksan:

probably the coolest picture i've taken. (this was a sign for a coffee shop though :-p)

we then went to seoul, and the DMZ. here is a picture of me IN North Korea standing next to a south korean military officer. dude was INTENSE!

i found it a little unnerving that right when i went to take a picture of the north korean military officer he immediatley picked up his binoculars and looked RIGHT AT ME! YIKES!

We then visited a beautiful palace in seoul:

random bush animal :-p

final view of seoul:

and my favorite:

seu-ta-buk-seu caw-pe :-)

From vacation...

Yes, I'm still stuck on vacation. It was fun! I just got pictures from my fabulous coteacher from August 2nd - the day we went all around to a million different places. I saw a theme in her pictures - I'm making a goofy face in every single one!! Mind you, it was NOT intentional. I guess I should stop making these faces. It seems to be true - my face HAS gotten stuck like that!!!!!!

Oh, Vacation... How I miss you...

Dale's Visit

We've had fun with Dale here.

The best was going to Seoraksan on August 5th. It was a blast.

The best part was climbing up to the HUGE high places.

(You can see me and Daniel on the rock!)

The scariest part was rappelling down.

(Look closely - we're there!)

But luckily we had Sherpa Dale to help us.

There will be tons of pics on Picasa as soon as we can get them all captioned.
