Actually, the internet access I had in Korea sucked. It was very annoying. Plus the sheer lack of time generally…
Anyway, now I am home… finally. Struggling hard with jet lag. It’s taking a bit of getting used to, this being back in the US. I slept all day yesterday–partly because I managed to pick up some kind of bug, and partly because my computer had died and was refusing to do anything, so I was pouting. haha.
My last few days in Korea were spent at 연등국제선원 (Lotus Lantern International Meditation Center), in Ganghwa-do. This small island was apparently a place of refuge from Genghis Khan and his Mongolian hoardes (they couldn’t cross the water to get to the island, even though it’s only a few hundred feet away!!) There are many historical sites dotted around the relatively small area, but they are worth seeing.

Taking a morning Walk
After the stay at Lotus Lantern, I headed back to Seoul for an evening (and a nice bed and long hot shower) before flying home on Monday. What a crazy adventure. I will be adding extra pages here with photos and various excerpts from my travels, as well as trying to update this more frequently now I’m actually back and connected!
Ooh, I love the first picture. Pretty!
Thank you! It was really beautiful up there. I miss it a lot…
