Trip 2: Day 1

We arrived in Korea right on time (4:15pm).  Despite one cancelled flight and a broken stroller - things were relatively uneventful - which is great.

We took the train to the apartment we are staying at, and found the place fairly easy.  Then we grabbed a bite to eat, and headed out to find a super market.  With the help of some very kind natives, we found one tucked away (things are packed in so tight, it's sometimes difficult to recognize when something is right next to you)!

So the funniest part of our trip so far... We bought several things at the grocery which included a very large bottle of water so that we can just keep filling up our water bottles.  Exhausted after arriving home, Ron was so glad to pour him a glass of water.  He took a big gulp, only to realize we had bought vodka instead.  He quickly spit it out in disbelief. :)

I can actually read the Korean word for water, but this was sitting right next to the water, and I was too tired to look that closely.  It was also in a very similar container - a clear plastic bottle.  The girls in the supermarket must have thought that we really like to get our drink on!

We take custody of Hyun tomorrow morning at 10am (8pm Wednesday night, central time).  I can't believe it.

Love you all and hope to post again soon.  It is time to hit the sack for sure.

    1. We certainly have felt the prayers of you Chelsea and many others and we cannot tell you how grateful we are. Along with feeling hung-over (from jet-lag, not vodka) we are also feeling the love of God and His people which is very comforting and timely. Thank you so much!
      Ron
