Seoul, Part 2

We got to watch the changing of the guards at Gyeongbokgung Palace with many of our closest friends. Please note the conchs in the third row. Somehow they are able to make sounds like bagpipes without said instruments.
Here we have a snapshot of how we passed our time at this palace. People talking to us in Korean and taking our pictures. Ryan says that he couldn't resist taking this picture.
Our next palace stop was much more enjoyable. We went on an English tour of the Secret Garden of Changdeokgung. It was hard to believe that we were in the middle of one of the largest cities in the world when hiking in these woods. The large gate that Helen and I are standing in was the gate the emperor would go to after he was done fishing in his pond.

We are trying to decide if any of these pictures are worthy to go on our wall of beautiful pictures.

What a good time. I really love the architecture of Korea, it's so beautiful and colorful. Maybe I can talk Spencer into painting our eaves multi-colored...
