Deoksugung Palace, and Osan

Sorry there are no pictures. I tried but I am having technical difficulties. I will have to get in here and figure out what's going on. Friday night Geoff and I had a serious talk and decided to return Henry to the pet store. Yes we loved him, but there is just to much that we want to do, and you can't take a screaming puppy with you everywhere. It was a very good decision.

Saturday we went to Deoksugung Palace. It was built in the 1400's, and there wasn't that much to it. It was a museum, a couple of buildings, and some pavillions. There is alot of history to it, but it was to hot to read it all. The buildings and pavillions had the pointy roofs, and were very colorfull. When I figure what's going on with my computer, I will post some pictures. I thought that the most interesting part of it was the fact that it was in the middle of downtown Seoul.

Sunday we went to Osan. Osan is a small town, with a huge air force base. If you have ever heard that the air force has everything better than the army, well it is true. While I am sitting in my condemned building, the folks down at Osan air force base are eating at Chilie's, and living in pretty new buildings. While our PX mainly carries clothing to fit the juicy population here around Camp Casey, there BX is like 5 times the size of ours. I did go to there little village and found a great ceramics shop. I bought some tea cups and salt and pepper shakers. Once again I will post pictures when I can. Sorry for taking so long between post, I have had a really busy schedule of going to the gym in the morning and laying out by the pool in the afternoon. Until next time.
