Geoff & John's Travels: South Korea

I just arrived back in the 'States from an excursion into the heart of South Korea, and I must tell you about my travels. My companions on this journey were my very good friends, Geoff MacKay and John MacKay. After dreaming and discussing traveling to this country, we were able to all finally get the same week of time free. With our demanding lives, come demanding schedules, and I'm not complaining, but I'm sure you can imagine the difficulty in arranging a week out of the country.

We began in Seoul, the capital city, where we enjoyed some delightful, yet unusual foods. The delicacies included food that would be unheard of in the United States. We also traveled to the DMZ, the mined area of land that separates the armed forces of North and South Korea. There is an enormous flagpole visible, on the North Korean side, bearing the flag of their nation. We were told that the South Koreans had built a large flagpole, so in turn North Korea built a larger one. I could speak of our travels for hours, but I think it is more appropriate to just say our visit was incredible.
