Travelogue: Geoje & Seoul
I had planned on taking a lot of photographs on my trip to Geoje but a typhoon had passed through just before my arrival and it looked like this for much of my stay:
Wet, gray and foggy – not great for photography but the scenery was pretty stunning nonetheless.
As I mentioned, I went to visit a charity, which is a school and home for mentally and physically disabled children. Seeing the work they do and meeting all the amazing people who work there there was completely inspiring.
After the school visit, I had just enough time for a stopover in Seoul for some power shopping and a quick visit here:
The gate leads to the royal palace and dates back to the 14th century. The original was destroyed during the Japanese occupation and after years of re-construction, it was just re-opened on August 15, Korea’s Independence Day.
And my favorite pic from the trip is this one from a Buddhist monastery:
I uploaded a few more photos to my Flickr account if you’d like to see more.
Happy Traveling Thursday and bon voyage!

How amazing to go to visit the charity. I'd love to hear more about it.
The visit to the monastery must have been fantastic. There is such serenity in their temples. We have a beautiful one an hour South of Sydney and we went there a few weeks ago. After Marija's (Holding Forth) tragic accident to light candles for her family. It was a very peaceful experience.
