Jeollanam-Do

With a fast closing window of good weather left Jolene and I took advantage of our weekend free time and visited some of the more remote places in our province. Our first trip was to an island with some friends. It was our first camping experience here in Korea and it made us thirsty for more. So we decided to scout our next possible location the following weekend: Jirisan National Park, the biggest national park in Korea (just about the size of Lake Arrowhead. We got some fun stills before the rain came down and ended our scouting mission short. We're definitely going to make a return trip there. We're excited to come home and see every one. Pray for us, those who are reading this, this last month or so has been a little tough preparing for our visit home. That'll about do it for tonight. -Lil.

Anniversary

For our two year anniversary, Jolene and I decided to just try a "Get-Away" weekend in Namhae Island for our honeymoon. While it was not near as exciting as other places we've been it did have one thing we were missing: Beach. Ahhh, the warm weather was perfect for the cozy two days we spent in the scarcely populated island. It is one of the most beautiful places we've been in Korea and Hilton has agreed because there was a 5 star resort about two coves up from up. We preferred to splurge the $25 buck and stay at a local motel. Hmm, maybe we should stay here next year....

By the way for those of you who don't know Jolene and I will be staying another 6-12 months in Korea. We decided that we really miss everyone back home but with the economy suppressing potential jobs our best bet would be to stay here another year. And hey we've really enjoyed it here so it's not that big of a sacrifice.
