Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!

Here are some pictures from my trip to Korea. Click on the links to see bigger versions!

This is my mom and aunt eating at a Kalbi house in Korea. Kalbi is marinated pork cooked on a sizzling plate in front of you.

This is my mom and her sister and brother (She hadn't seen her brother since 1983).

These kids are kids in the village where my aunt lives.

Hanging with Ronald, where even he has slanted eyes . . . I look terrible!

That, my friends is a North Korean city in the distance. Notice that there isn't much vegetation growing on the mountains?

A North Korean lookout post. The dirt road is within the DMZ, the picture is taken through a car window because I may have been shot if caught taking pictures.

The shelled out remains of the North Korean Labor Party Headquarters, the site of many atrocities during the war.

Early morning in the Cheorwon Valley.

This is my Grandmother's grave. It is near the site of the home where my mom was born. My mother had not been here since she was several months old. She had never seen the grave of her mother. Never known where she was born.

A traditional home. My mom was born in a home like this. My aunt sits in the doorway, my mom is in the foreground walking.

Here is a grave of one of my ancestors. In todays world he would be as important as a vice president. That is my smiling mom in the foreground. We took part in grave cleaning day to prepare for Korean Thanksgiving. This grave site is nearly 600 years old.

That is all for now. Disregard the ugly picture of me. The airport lost my luggage, so I had been in the same clothes for three days!
