Making lemonade

 As much as I'd love to be back in WY to hug, cry, drink, laugh, and generally just BE THERE, I can't.  So I'm trying to make the best of things while I'm still on the other side of the world.  Sunday was a good day in Seoul with J.  We found a bunch of shops underneath the Myeongdong Cathedral, found jeans for her at H&M, had the most beautiful glass of iced tea ever, and met up with M(C) for dinner at PF Chang's in the Coex Mall.  It was a good day.

I don't know why they were selling these at a Catholic shop under a Cathedral... but I want to know the full story.  Farm implements?  Torture devices?  

The shop was quite cute.

This display reminded me of people in TX and their walls of crosses.

Stephen King in Korean!

Creepy clippers.

Such a pretty tea.

Look at those ice cubes!

So pretty!

Obligatory selfie.

American Soul Food.

Want eggs?

We stopped at the Instagram library - due to the pandemic, it was much less busy than it had been in the past.

Chicken lettuce wraps!!!!

Dinner - Lo mein for M(C), sweet and sour chicken for J, szechuan chicken for me.  It was so good!

Dessert was gelato... look how pretty it is!!

Back to online classes, break out the LIPSTICK!

I found a little bit of home.  You bet I bought those and enjoyed them immensely.  Had to go grocery shopping on Monday, I was out of a bunch of stuff.

As of Monday, due to a spike in Corona cases around Seoul and Gyeonggi province, we are back to online teaching for a week.  The good news from Korea right now is that it stopped raining for a bit, so that's nice.  As far as plans go, I may end up on a beach this weekend learning how to surf... stay tuned for more on that.  Otherwise I'm looking forward to hiking at Seoraksan during the first weekend in September.  

Ready as I am to come home, I do still enjoy this country: the people, the food, the nature, it's all good.  Much love from the other side of the world, stay tuned for more shenanigans and malarkey. 

This gelato pic refuses to go where it should... I got the cappuccino flavored kind.
