Out to Lunch

We will be off-blog for a little while.  In the meantime,  perhaps you will enjoy the following items:

Sarah is now a published poet!  Her poem,  To The Plastic Saints, has been published in the Segullah Journal.  The following is a link to this publication:
http://journal.segullah.org/
Right now you can only read the poem in the print edition, but soon it will be available on-line.

If literary pursuits are not on your horizon, perhaps you can amuse yourself with this great little video:
GO ARMY!!
(Thanks, Heather, for passing along this link)

See you all back here soon!!

Remember this sign?
We have learned something really interesting about this "welcome sign" which we thought was a big billboard that was pasted onto an old overpass. It turns out that this is a defensive emplacement known as a rock drop. It is a big concrete box full of rubble and rocks. In the event of an invasion by North Korea the panels underneath the drop will be opened and release the rubble across the roadway, hampering movement into South Korea.

SOLAR ECLIPSE!

SOLAR ECLIPSE!
Might look like the moon - but it's the sun!
On Wednesday July 22 Asia experienced a solar eclipse and we got to see it! Miraculously the expected day of monsoon rain did not materialize and the sky was mostly clear for the duration. During the eclipse, which occured around 11:00 a.m., the sun was much too bright to view directly - we had to be satisfied with reflected images. But, as the sun began to re-appear, just enough clouds came in to allow us to look - and take a picture. It was quite something to behold and we feel lucky for the opportunity.

On A Clear Day...

On A Clear Day...
We had 2 days of church meetings in the Seoul area. Today the weather was remarkably clear and I was able to get a great view of the city skyline and the radio tower. Usually the sky is too hazy for a view like this. Pollution, rain, high humidity or dust storms are contributing factors.
