Day 3 in Seoul

Let's see if I'm successful posting today - day 3 in Seoul.  I tried yesterday, but didn't realize that Google is really helpful and detects the country the computer is being used from and uses that to set the language.  Unfortunately, I don't understand a single character (letter?) of Korean, so gave up...  Thanks to other happy bloggers out there I found a way to see the menu in English and so far it's looking promising.

Our flight from Seattle to Seoul was wonderful.  It lasted a few minutes over 11 hours and we actually got a little sleep on the flight.  Highlights of the trip were the crabs claws in my salad and a filet of sole for dinner - not to mention the bottle of Pinot Noir that we shared.  So glad that we flew cushy-class this time.

We arrived at the hotel about 9:00 on the night of the 16th (we left Seattle at 3:00 p.m. on the 15th) and unpacked a bit and hit the beds.  Fortunately we were both tired enough to sleep until about 5:00a.m. the next morning.  Usually on these trans-pacific flights we end up waking at around 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning thinking it's time to get up and go.


We have taken only a few pictures so far.  The above is a view from our hotel room - this isn't even downtown Seoul, just a little part of it!  To see the others, try out this link:

I'll stop here, just because I want to make sure this actually works.  More later.
