On tour

Well, I don't have much computer time so I won't be able to write eveything I've been doing or post pictures but I can highlight a few things I've done over the past couple days...
After camp got over we packed up our bags and headed to Youngam camp..which was really nice in comparison to all the other ones. We all got dressed up and went to a fancyish dinner with the governor of the Jeoalloanamdo province. We listed to some speeches (Gene came along to pass on some words of wisdom) and took pictures. It was great being re-united with everyone and listening to stories (some of them horror stories) about the other camps. After talking to several people Christine and I felt really thankful that we were in Mokpo! Dinner was fun and then we hung out with Korean Ian and made him laugh. He is so funny. The next morning we woke up bright and early to eat hamburgers and go to the ferry boat in Wando.
I slept through most of the ferry ride to Jeju but then I realized at the end how much cooler the upper deck was and hung out up there watching the jellyfish swim around under the water. Jeju island is about an hour or two ferry ride from Wando. This is the vacation "honeymooner" destination of Korea. It is sorta tropical and has beaches and casinos and other fun things to do. Today we went on a long tour of the island. I felt very touristy. We only had like 20-30min at each destination so we were constantly in a rush to see everything and make it to the gift shop. The last person on the bus had to sing a song. At the folk village today we outright sprinted back. Luckily Aly was a couple minutes behind us and had to sing Twinkle, Twinkle. All in all we saw a waterfall, folk villiage, this fancy resort garden, 2 restaurants, and this big cave. It was sweet. I would have liked to slow down however. Today is my 1 year wedding anniversary with Ian :( I miss him a lot and can't wait to see him in 3 days. I can't believe it has been 5 weeks already...yet at the same time so much has happened sometimes it feels longer. At dinner tonight they announced it was my anniversary and Joe sang me the Michelle song. It was sweet. Anyway, gotta go, will post pics and more details later!
