Fall Adventures

I'm sitting at my desk in our "Seoul Box," as we call it, listening to the wind rustle off the leaves of the tree outside our window. The colors have turned from summertime greens to brilliant gold, red, and orange, nature's signal of change and the full cycle of when we first arrived in Korea. The season's shift echoes that of our life. In less than 24 hours I'll be on a plane en route to some R&R in the Philippines with my good friend, Lisa, from Oregon. Zak is finishing up work here in Seoul, then on November 12th we are US-bound. 

We have lots of photos to share, so this entry is mostly a photo blog. We took a trip to Hong Kong to visit our Austin friends Nate & Celeste, who showed us an awesome time in our now top-rated city in Asia. Back in Seoul, the weather was fantastically warm and sunny at the end of summer, so we fit in bike rides with friends, long walks through the city, and an adventure to the the fish market.

So, a photo journey to enjoy for now. Keep posted for the next report from the Philippines!

Off to Hong Kong! We stayed in the Wan Chai district, a super cool area to explore.

Can't ask for better beach views than this, and the perfect water for swimming.
