Ella's got Seoul

Several years ago I had a chance to take Maddie with me to Seoul as part of a student study abroad group that I was leading.  This last spring Eloise and I had the same opportunity.  



Rob's attempt at a selfie w/ Ella with a big camera



Eloise is a cool cat.  She was super adventurous and dug right into the sights, sounds, and tastes of Seoul.   Sights and sounds:  Eloise at a Buddhist temple, with the flutter of paper lanterns.






Sight:  The amazing view of downtown Seoul from our hotel window -- lucky room 2014 for a great trip in 2014.




Tastes:  Bibimbap--delicious.





Sounds:  The hustle and bustle of markets, shopping (including eyeglasses), and a baseball game.


 

  



We also found the place where earrings are born:



Friends:  Eloise met up with an old family friend -- Jasmine Im -- for a day of shopping, eating, and taking the tram up to Namsan mountain.






We had a great time with the sights, sounds, and tastes -- but our favorite was just hanging out with each other.  Love you Ella.
