parental visit

Hi Folks I have been out of the blog for the past week due to my parent's arrival in Korea. I am going to go back to the day they arrived which was Chusok and post some photos from our day at the Namsan Folk Village where we spent the day with our new friends Mei Ling, Kendra, Tera, Ayla and Jonathan. It was a fun day - we even went live on the radio and did some interviews for an English radio station in Seoul. We supposedly won tickets but haven't heard from them since so who knows. Anyway here are the photos.


John and I took a walk up the mountain and found this lovely shrine. It was really a beautiful spot.
This is the marker for the shrine.

Netta painting a fan at the Chuseok festival.

John and Olive loving a tree on our walk.
The view of the city from our walking path.
A lovely waterfall.
Netta dressed as a courtesan......
Netta really wants a hanbok for her birthday this year.
Some performers - they were actually practicing their dance here.
Olive making friends - anyang.......
John on the radio.
Ayla - such a cutie...

The view of Seoul Tower from the folk village.
View through an arbor of the pond.
Most of the children at the festival were dressed in hanbok. It was unbelievably cute.
This is a teeter totter game where one person lands and sends the other jumping into the air. Netta and John tried but it was a lot harder than it looked. These ladies were amazing.
