Mr. Pickle's Got Seoul... Korea

From around July 30- August 7, Mr. Pickle took his first trip outside the continental US. He did it up big and went to Korea! He went over with my good friends Cortney & Yu-Jin for their traditional Korean wedding ceremony. They all had a bit of fun before and after.

Waiting at the airport in Minneapolis. It's not that quick of a trip to Korea.

Just hanging around at the airport, still.

The Pickle has landed! Here he is at Hyewonjeongsa Temple. Check out the details in the bronze fittings.

Hyewonjeongsa Temple for Zazen meditation. Mr. P is not quite in the correct position, but he's feeling good.

A trip to Busan! A beachy view from the lovely Paradise Hotel. Mr. Pickle is looking pretty snazzy in his new hat!

At a Buddhist vegetarian restaurant serving temple food in Seoul.

Cafe Brownie in Seoul. Mr. Pickle wanted to devour all the chocolate. Yu-Jin had to hold him back.

It's thirsty times for pickles while enjoying Dosan Park in Seoul. (The tomb of Dosan Ahn Changho is there.)

Still at Dosan Park, this pickle tries to translate. He guesses the sign has something to do with trees and dog poop.

Cortney, the art historian, reports that "roof tiles are where it's at." Mr. P is enjoying some evidence here in Dosan Park.

A modern Seoul inhabitant.

Such a lovely light show in the Gangnam District in Seoul. 

Mr. Pickle is getting his geek on here in Seoul.

Interestingly, Mr. P did not learn a word of Korean while there, so he was in a fog most of the time. But the sights and sounds did him wonders. 

C + Y + Mr. P left Korea and headed to Hawaii next! Stay tuned...
