Not Much Posting...Not sure which day it is.

Today I decided to stay back in Seoul with Em, who was not feeling tip top this morning, while the boys went off the visit the DMZ. Because So. Korea is on such high alert right now, the tour was not all that is was supposed to be. There was no visit to the "peace village" to see the peace table where the truce was signed for the end of the Korean War. The boys did say that it was quite an experience. They went down into the infiltration tunnels, and had lunch in the basement of a log cabin? Jeff says there are no trees around, so how could there possibly be a log cabin right there at the DMZ? It was quite an experience for them the tunnel was so small that they stooped the whole way.

The place of the lunch. Looks like something you'd see back home, huh?

Here is the photo line. Vinny went as far as he could. You can take photos all the way up too the edge of the line, but not once you cross it.

The boys said these hats where a blessing because they kept bonking their heads while navigating through the tunnel. J said there was an echo of "ohh!" "ouch!" and "ahh" as they made their way to the top.

It seems this trip is not leaving much time for me to be on the internet in the most wired country on the planet. Crazy. I seem to be struggling with feeling 100%, so that means I have to be picky about what I expend energy on. A couple of days ago I sent a blog post into Holt. You can read it HERE
Em and I had a quiet first half of the day. Can't quite seem to get my body in line. Last night we ate at a nice italian restaurant here in Itaewan, and I still didn't feel well. The company was good, and the atmosphere was great. Good italian food here in Seoul. Very funny. The girls had a pretend wedding for Hally who married some imaginative character. I heard the reception was nice with Toblerone, cookies, and cookie dough ice cream from the Cold Stone across the street. Em said it was just good plain pretending. While Em was at the "wedding" I knocked on J's door and T answered. J was flat on the floor. Something about picking up ammo off of the ground. I said as long as the room wasn't destroyed and they hadn't broken any laws that I didn't need any explanation about what they were doing. I hit the sack and fell asleep pretty quickly.

Tonight is our final night. I know that I have left out so much of the past two. I will get caught up. I have tons of notes.

We have a big banquet to attend. There will be many dignitaries present. There will be a lot of hanbok's too. Here is a preview...
