While walking down a dusty dirt trail this past weekend, I was talking with a friend about how she always felt that she was an "outdoorsy" person until she came to Korea. My response was that I didn't feel like one until I came here. Granted, when I say I feel outdoorsy, I'm referring to the fact that I walk to work (outdoors), I walk to the bus (outdoors), and I have climbed to the top of a mountain since coming here. So, ya, I'm more outdoorsy; and from this new found gratitude for the world outside, I've noticed how beautiful life can be. The people you meet and the adventures you can go on are so incredibly fulfilling that I never want to consider myself an "indoor" person again-- unless my allergies decide otherwise.
With that being said, here are some reasons I'm being so sentimental this evening.
Enjoy the amazing view of cherry blossoms, new friends, and an adventure of a lifetime.

| The cutest moment happened when this man decided to educate us on royal families and their guidelines to manage a household. Also, FW has his beard rubbing down. |

| For my Madikins. |
Typical Jordan and Koontz.
Typical me making friends with people 20 years younger than myself.
Enjoying some injeolmi.
Playing a traditional Korean game, Tuho.
And then the foreigners' attempts...

| Because no trip is complete without a jumping picture. |
Stay true, stay real.

P.S. I met a guy from Tulsa, Oklahoma on this trip. Crazy how far one has to travel in order to find a little piece of home.
