long time coming...

marie and I have really fallen behind on this blog thing huh? Well not to much has happened so let me fill you in. My mom came to visit and we got to go see some new things with her that we had not yet seen, like the DMZ. That was interesting and a good day trip. We also took her to see some of the crazy busy markets that the city has to offer. This is an amazing experience for anybody and no matter how many times you go, you still look at all the people in shock in awe. I think mom had an ok time, it was hard for her to be out of ohio and around so many people. Since she left we have been takeing as many beach trips as we can. We went to the Hawaii of Korea called Jeju Island. This was a good weekend trip. We got some beach time, got to see an acrobat show, and we got to visit a place called Love Land which is dedicated to sex and penis. It was funny to see a bunch of old women walking around and laughing their asses off. Then the next weekend we went to another beach right outside the city called Muuido. The sun was nice, but we did not get to swim. This is one of the very very few places in the world (I think there is like 2 total) that has THE lowest tide. When the water goes out, there is nothing but wet sand and mud for like 2 miles. At one point we walked for a good half hour strait out and still did not find water. So in short, the sun and beach bumming was good, but no water which was a bummer. The next weekend we went to the city Busan, which is on the very southern tip of Korea. There is a very famous beach in Busan where everyone and their mother travels to. If you were to Google Busan beach photo's, you would see ten hundred thousand koreans on the beach. We went down with our friends Dj and his wife Margie and they new of a smaller, quieter beach, and so we were not swamped by the mass crowds and that was nice. We two beautiful days of sun and swim... It was perfect.
And so that catches you up to our lifes thus far. We have another trip to the beach this coming weekend, to a festival called Mud Fest. And yes it is just what it sounds like. Here is a link if you are intrigued enough to want to know more: http://www.asknow.ca/mudfest/
Oh and of course, Robby and Rose arrive in a little less than 2 weeks which we are both really excited about! And then off to China... And then home... Busy, Busy, Busy!
