Gyeongbok Palace and the Korean Folk Museum

Last weekend, Scott and I went up to Seoul.  We had dual purposes: shopping for winter jackets and visiting a palace.  We weren't successful in finding clothes that would fit either of us, but we did have a nice time at Gyeongbok Palace and the neighboring Korea Folk Musuem.  Enjoy the pictures!

Another Sunday in Seoul

We visited Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul today. It was pretty cool, as is the Korea Folk Museum. Pictures to come. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyeongbokgung
