The bummer of today: I forgot to put my camera card back in from my computer last night so I had my camera, but not enough memory or a way to put it on my computer so I could not take pictures today.
We started out our morning helping on one of the floors with the babies. We were in the room with babies ranging from about 4-8 months old. The room in front of us had newborns. It's always a special experience holding, loving and caring for the babies, and imagining myself in their position.
After helping with the babies we went to Seodaemun Prison History Hall. I was there last year, but they have added a few things. It was a very moving exhibit and as always, a good history lesson. Again, it reminded me of my visit to Dachau.
We walked to the Seoul Museum of History. I was there last year also, and again, it seemed as if the exhibits had changed a bit. As we were leaving the museum we had a "city volunteer" come up to us and tell us about the city-wide festival going on now through the 7th. So, we walked on to downtown to see some of the events. It was really cool because many of the main streets were shut down so people could walk in them. We watched a few different 'events/performers' and then got food and sat down by Cheongyecheon to eat and people watch. The unfortunate thing is that once the sun started setting, it got cool and we were in shorts and light 3/4 length shirts. We did catch part of the "opening ceremony" but decided to come back early.
Back at the guesthouse I tried to figure out the washing machine and dryer....right now I am listening to it making noise and am nervous about what's going on in there. Hopefully everything comes out alright.
Tomorrow is "moving day"-on to our next location in Seoul.
