Out and about in the city.

We decided to experience some culture today, and visited Gyeongbukgang, the largest of the five grand palaces which remain from the Joseon era. It truly was a grand palace, and worth braving the heat to experience.








We found a Chinese Year Calender, everyone had fun finding their totem animal.
River, 2005, is born in the year of the Rooster:)
Amber and I, 1974 and 1998 respectivley, share the year of the Tiger.
Ruby,2003, is year of the Sheep:)
Beautiful views across the lake.
Hamming it up for the camera.
The old, and the new,

You shall not pass!






Korean Traditional guard dress, I think it is called a Jeonbok, which is worn over dongari.

The entrance to the Grand Palace Gyeongbukgang. Impressive stuff.

Changing of the guards, Korean Style.
