Mom & Dad Visit Korea! (Part 4)

This is the entrance to the Korean War Museum. The area outside of the building has airplanes, tanks, and artillery guns on display as well as sculpture commemorating the people who fought and died. My favorite sculpture is the one below. There are soldiers boldly advancing in front of weak and defenseless civilians.





The two soldiers above are embracing each other over the crack in the dome which represents the division of the country.


After the Korean War Museum, we visited one more palace. This happens to be the only photo worthy of posting. It's of the royal throne.

The highlight of the tour for me was seeing the Korean woman wearing the traditional dress. It's always nice to see people preserving and honoring their heritage.

By the time we had finished the tour we were all exhausted from the walking and warm weather. On just the 3rd day of their visit, we had done quite a lot of sightseeing.

The day after this was the day of Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) and we did even more fun things including going to an aquarium, watching the celebration at City Hall, and watching a fantastic traditional Korean music performance.
