May 15th. Happy Birthday

 Today we woke up to a light rain. Never fun when you are on vacation (Day 50 for us). But that never deters the trepid vacationers. So Meghan and I set out to visit the World taekwondo Headquarters. The taxi drops is off at a unusually empty complex. Well it is Teachers Day in Korea so it is closed.

These photos are different not only in place but because in one Meghan has an umbrella and the other she does not. As we were walking out from the complex at the gate, a car stopped and honked his horn. Jessica went over and he handed her an umbrella and drove off. That is Korea 

But we have more fish to fry because it is Buddha’s birthday. So we set off to Joegaysa temple. And we were not disappointed. 

We hope to next go to the National Library to see our plaque. But wisely call before and find they are closed also. Time for lunch. 

Sometimes you just need a cheeseburger. 

Time to just return home in a heavy steady rain. No fun to be in, but nice to watch from inside a traditional Korean home. 

No more going out. Just a quiet night listening to Mary Ann teaching Jessica Korean. 

Good night.
