Well we had our first day in Korea without rain (almost). It didn't rain until evening and even then it was just drizzly. We tried to make the most of the dry day and see LOTS of stuff.
First we went to Gyeonbukgong Palace. 
There we saw the changing of the guard.
Next we went to the Korean Folk Museum.
Then we went back to Insadong where we attempted another Korean meal with success. Mmmmm dumplings.
Then it was off to the toy market to shop for some kids we know. No Walmart here everything is sold in open air markets.
And finally we took in the Lotus Lantern Festival parade. This is a celebration of Buddha's birthday. The floats were awesome (see picture above).
Then a subway ride and stop at Burger King...you can take the Americans out of the United States but you can't take away their fast food. Now we must head to bed. Tomorrow morning we get our next visit with Ellie. We are excited to see her again and to see how she will react to us. We figure the first time we were a novelty but now that she is seeing us a second time she may be starting to figure out that something is up.
