Still trying to acclimate back to our time zone.

Not getting great sleep. been up since 2:00am today.

We had some crazy rain the first couple days, and high winds wouldn't allow us to visit the observatory at Taekwondowon.

I had the hour of introducing the new president of the Kukkiwon at our visit, and was personaly pinned by him.
