Korea ROcKs--Part 6

We love Seoul!  Seoul is a massive city and even after four years of living in its "suburbs" I feel like there is so much we haven't explored.  Last weekend we went on an adventure to an area of Seoul called Insadong so we could buy some traditional Korean goods (nice chopsticks, a painting, etc.) to take back to America with us for our new house.   

We've learned how to work it out so we take the bus with E while he is napping.  He's such a little trooper. 
 After about 45 minutes we make into Seoul and E is still conked out at this point. 
 I love this city.

 Then in the middle of a modern, urban skyline there is traditional Korean architecture. 
 Insadong (seen below) is a street full of cool, artsy shops selling pottery, furniture, and Korean souvenirs. 
 Here you can see one of the souvenir shops and a pottery shop.

After some shopping and a tasty Greek meal we headed back to Suwon just in time for E's afternoon nap.  As you can see below, E crashed hard and slept well on public transit throughout the trip. 
Next time we'll try to get more pics with Everett awake. :)
We have loved living in this area and will really miss Seoul.
