Spring Vacation to Korea - 2016



It seems like we are on vacation all the time. For me, that's not a problem at all. We just left for our spring vacation and we're in Korea. Pat has been here several times as he taught at English camps 4 different times for 5 weeks each. This was during his summer break. It's my first time here except for a long layover.
Here are few pics of our first days here.

A stream through the city of Seoul that use to house the poor
and displaced/homeless. They turned it into this beautiful walkway.

Another view of thestream, its called Chun Gye Chun. It's a great place to walk
and get exercise.
Patrick with his new friends.

These are wraps of some sort..... hmmmm ... I just couldn't not take a photo. This is for you my "It Works" friends.

This was a cinnamon caramel bread desert. It was buttery yumminess.

This is a mung bean patty. It smelled delicious but I
haven't tried it yet. I will before we leave.

These are silk worm casings that are eaten as snacks.
These originated after the war when there was little to
eat. People continue to eat them ... I will not be trying
these.

This is for my friend Laurie who is an amazing baker. The
decor was rich and elegant and the pastries looked delectable.

Here are some cake rolls in all different flavors. A great
idea that I may have to try at home.

This bakery was in the middle of
the Shinsegae mall. I definitely want to go back and try
something here.
