Mostly Pics (Hopefully!!)

Earlier today I wrote about the maternity home. But there was so much else that we did also--it ended up being an extremely exhausting day! I am really looking forward to our two day retreat to the mountains tomorrow. (My personal favorite place in Korea.) No internet there so it may be a while before I have any more blogs up.

Anyway, the facility that houses the maternity home also has an orphanage. Here are some pics from the orphanage.

This little dolly kept taking my tag out of my nametag holder
and putting it back in. She was so intent, she wouldn't look up for a pic!

We couldn't get this little guy to smile for anything.
He just didn't seem to engage with anyone. Very sad.

This isn't the best picture, but the riot police were out in
full force today as we headed to GeyongBok Palace.
The whole deal with the importation of America beef
has cause many riots and demonstrations. It was really freaky.
About every 30 feet there were police/military standing behind
shields in groups of six.

Pictures of Kari at GeyongBok Palace.


Rows upon rows of hanboks, and hanbok fabric for custom
made hanboks in East Gate Open Market. Many of the adoptees
purchased beautiful ones.

Well, it's late and we are up at 6:00am tomorrow for our trip to the mountains. One favor, please pray for my back and leg (the disc is really bothering me) and for Kari as she has pretty bad motion sickness and the stop and go traffic of the bus has been tough on her.

If you have any questions, feel free to email!!

Have a great weekend.
