People stop for a bit to eat at a Korean rest stop...
(C'mon America when will you serve ramen in your rest stops?)

The city of Gyung-Ju has so many antient royal burial mounds they have lost track who is in them...
Half way there...
At this point I am halfway through the tale of my trip. I am dissapointed with myself so far for falling behind. Even the full blog posts are not up to my great standards. They are to much like "And Then we... But then... and now this happend....". I can and will do better. It has been difficult because I have either been on the road seeing some of the most amazing things I have ever seen or sleeping in the next day. All the while snapping away with my camera. Through here and my facebook page I have shared less than 1% of my 1200 and growing photographic library with what I think are about 200-300 really worth while ones...
So this is what I will do, give you (with captions) a gallery of my favorite images...

But of them all this is my favorite...

A decorative water wheel in the Ilsan lake park.
The statue of the great King Sejoeng who had the Korean alphabet created.
A nice shot of seagulls off the bow of a ferry begging for food.
Even Monks got to eat. The larder of the monks at Bomunsa temple.
The rooftop gazebo on the Seo's apartment building.
Come and dring to your health at the heath spring.
The anacranisms leap out to me. I love it.
Somtimes when you are in such a beautiful place as in the Royal Joson dyanasty palace in downtown Seoul all you need to do is to point and click ro get some amazing shots.

Though artificial, a small island enjoys the solitude of man's non-interferance...

Almost the end...
This Picture is special because it is the one that nearly made me lose my cell phone.
I was standing on a rock near the stream to take a picture of the staircase. A fly came along and landed on my hand which I swatted at.* This made me drop my phone onto the sloping boulder. The back flew off and both pieces started sliding toward the edge. I luckily was able to grab the phone before it Thema and Louised it into the waiting pool. The back of my phone was not so fortunate and I could not talk it down before it took the leap. And unlike Kenny in the Platte the water was deeper than it looked. When I climbed down I found that the water where the Phone back was was deeper than my knees.
Cleverly I found a boulder and put it in the water to provide a stepping stone with which to stand while I reached into the arm deep pool. This was not nearly as cleaver as it seemed because the rock shifted and I nearly baptized my self calling out to God and everything. I had to try again, so I went for the thing a second time steadying myself on the boulder. I touched it but also a leaf that was decomposing in the cold liquid. I drew my hand back thinking some evil creature was about to attack and was forced to do one of those silly dances you do when you do not quite have your balance. But in the end, as we say when a that is the number of tries requred "Third time's a charm". And just as a universe could not be contemplated without being the kind of universe to support life that could contemplate it, this blog continues under a similar, but equipment based, anthropic priciple
*To those Gammaristas I know this is ambiguous, but I swatted at both my hand and the fly so bite it.

The waterfall of Gu-gak-pot-po is beautiful even if it is calm this time of year...
