In only 12 hours we ate breakfast, toured the Gyungbukgong Palace, strolled through the National Folk Museum, walked the streets in Insadong, shopped, shopped, shopped, and ate a Korean lunch... shopped, had "chops" made for the kids, stocked up on hanboks and Becky even took up the offer of a "free hug" from a handsome young Korean.
For those of you wondering "Well where the heck is that beautiful chubby cheeked little baby?" She's here in Seoul and still living with her foster family. But I haven't met her yet. I will be able to meet Elena and her foster family for a few hours on Monday. Then, I won't be able to see her again until we are flying home on Wednesday. After that she and I will have a nice long day of traveling home to the U.S.
