First up, we got to meet some cyber friends IRL. That was fantastic! Laurie and Mark are from the DM area. We've known each other online for months and to hug them (read her) IRL was such a gift. We also met the best folks ever from the KC area. These two couples are adopting with our agency and we enjoyed our day with them more than we can put into words. They were both just so nice and encouraging and . . .
Our tour guide was the best gift of the day. Chae was A.mazing! She is a Seoul native thru and thru but spent the past 7 years in the states so . . . she was the perfect tour guide. She was so beautiful and down to earth and helpful. We just fell in love with her. I will be so proud and grateful if our new daughter is very much like Chae when she is a young woman.
We had an
enjoyable time visiting the Gyeong Bok Gung Palace. The weather was perfect and the colors of the palace were vivid. WE had lunch at a traditional Korean restaurant. It will likely be one of my favorite experiences in Korea. We shopped til we dropped this afternoon, getting a beat on some great deals for Wednesday.
