Day 5: After giving R&C some time to sleep off the jet lag, we got down to serious business with day one of two in Seoul. We started out with a tour of the "Secret Garden" at Chandeokgung (palace). It was beautiful! I had been there back in November (picture me in a ski jacket). This time, everything was much greener! I didn't take many pictures because I have so many from my first trip. We spent about 2 hours on the tour. I probably could have stayed all day.
Then we went to lunch at Min's House in Insadong. I found this place in a tour book and it was great! We had a four course meal in a traditional Korean home. It was a really beautiful place and the food was delicious!
After lunch we went to Jogyesa Temple. It was very cool because Buddha's birthday was coming up and so the temple was filled with people and decorated with lanterns! The lanterns are purchased and people attach prayers to Buddha on them. R&C's whole trip every temple was decorated colorfully-- I was very pleased!
Our last stop on Day 5 was to Gyeongdokgung (palace). This is the other palace in Seoul and has a some amazing images to capture. Even though we were tired, we were still excited to see more! R&C were very good sports and kept up with the fast pace like true traveling champs!
