After a fantastic two weeks in Korea meeting a whole new family we never knew we had, it's great to be home. We arrived in Atlanta on Saturday evening around 5:30PM after a 12 hour flight and discovered our connecting flight to Boston had been canceled due to the snowstorms in New England. We spent the night at a hotel in Atlanta and got into Boston around 10:00AM on Sunday morning. In hindsight, it wasn't a big deal and worked out okay.

Our first American food was on the plane from Seoul to Atlanta and I totally gorged myself. I hadn't had fatty food with sugar and salt for two weeks so I sort of overdosed. We ordered Pizza Hut at the hotel which was also a luxury. Don't get me wrong, we loved the food in Korea. Mari's family is filled with excellent cooks and we were fed well. To all of my friends in Boston - we'll take you out anytime to Korean restaurants and help you navigate the menu!

I apologize for not updating the blog the last week. Internet access was a problem early in the week and then I just sort of ran out of convenient times to keep things updated later in the week. Mari and I have lots more photos and crazy videos to share which I'll continue to dribble out over the next couple weeks.

Family Photo

Here's a family photo we took on Friday night at Mari's aunt's apartment in Ilsan (about 1 hour northwest of Seoul). Pictured in the photo from left-to-right back-to-front are: Pok Soon (Young Son's wife), Jae Young (Su Joung's son, Mari's cousin), Grandma, Mari, Young Son (uncle), Blake, Su Joung (Mari's aunt), Sok Hyoung (Su Joung's husband), Jin Wan (cousin), Chan Ho (cousin), Ye Lean (Su Joung's daughter, Mari's cousin).
