Here are some pics from the first day. We visited a palace and the Korean National Folk Museum before heading over to meet Mari's birth family. Totally feeling the jet lag now ... it's about 9:20PM on Monday ... so need to cut it short.
The first meeting of Mari and her birth family went well. We'll be meeting up with Mari's family tomorrow and traveling with them into the country to city where Mari was born and to see other relatives. We'll be staying at the home of one of Mari's aunts. It will be 4 days and 3 nights so we'll be away from Seoul for a few days.
wowee - I’m so glad to hear it’s going well. You already met the family! So fast. That’s great.
— DanaOooo. Asian jetlag. If I remember correctly, when I went to Japan I was soooo tired. But wait until you come home. You’ll never be able to get to sleep! Glad to hear you made it safely. Fantasticness pics!
