It's 5:45 a.m., Thursday, July 8 in Seoul. The sky half an hour ago was a hazy pale pink, and now it's just hazy. We're moving on-- to Japan. We fly to Narita and take a train to Kyoto for 5 days, then have 4 days in Tokyo. I'm not sure what the internet situation will be there but hope to continue with this blog one way or another.
I've many things still to write about Seoul--the War Memorial, the National Museum, the river ferry cruise, various forests, other meals (surprise!), the warmth of Korean hospitality, the Metro--but for the moment I'll just say that the Farewell Party hosted by Sookmyung was a really good time. We've had a very fine time here, indeed, and met lots of wonderful people. We're sorry to leave, and hope we don't lose track of all our new friends.
Here I am with the splendid staff from the SISS Office, yesterday, when we went to say goodbye. They have taken fabulous care of us!
Nancy, bless her heart, will arrive in 15 minutes to drive us to the airport.
