Pictures from the train

...posted while riding it, that is, not of it. The high speed trains here have free wireless internet. That's pretty awesome if you ask me.

OK, so here we go with all the pictures from the month of April. You want pictures. You get pictures. Lots of them.

Starting with the flight:


Somewhere over Canada.


Somewhere over or near Alaska, I think.


This is the, uh, lovely? room we were staying it at the Hotel Capital just off post in Seoul. It was quite the decorating job.


Seoul, out the dirty hotel window.


The magnolia trees were in full bloom...


And Paul likes taking pretty pictures.


Still doesn't look like Korea, does it?

The next week was spent in Pyeongtaek at Camp Humphreys (near Osan Air Base).


We took a drive one evening to the bay/port area. Several places around here, they have put in fountains in natural bodies of water. Some of the rivers even have them. It's pretty cool.


This was at an art park on the bay.


Gee, why would Paul have taken this picture?

While so close to the water, we decided to try one of the seafood restaurants basically along the boardwalk. We had no idea what we were ordering (that's usually the norm around here!), but it turned out to be a very good seafood feast.


Does that look a little more like I'm in Korea? Complete with a very dorky grin!


On the way back, we witnessed this very interesting way of transporting old computers. That's just pretty typical transport of anything, though.


The picture of our first cache in Korea is on Paul's cell phone. This was our second cache in Korea. I really should log sometime that we found it.


Oops. I lied. This isn't the exact train, but this is the high speed train, which I am currently sitting on as I write this post.


We found this monument as the result of a cache. This is why we love geocaching. It takes us places we probably would never have found otherwise. This monument is to the 37 airmen of the South African Air Force who gave their lives in the Korean war.


I took this picture because it reminded me of Okinawa (yes, I know, I'm still lacking pictures posted from there). The difference was...



and...


[NOTE: I started this post several weeks ago, so I'm just going to post it and finish posting the pictures from April later today possibly.]
