Thanksgiving Korea Style

Rob and I up at the top of the mountain with the valley and ocean behind us. We hiked all the way up.....kidding, we took the cable car which was packed with many Koreans who had just eaten Kim Chi. I will explain later if you don't get my drift.
I picked up this stud at the Kareoke Bar. I usually don't go for the Bon Jovi 1987 look but something about this guy said "Go for it!"
Our close group of friends minus the Kawans who were pretty much busy having a baby. From left Emma, Tom and Jen Pagano, Allison and Al Scaperatto, us, Kate and Kevin Crofton and of course the Freeborns with little Nathan.
Great shot of the Buddha statue!
Loved the snowy backdrop.....hate the bloated pregnancy face.

6 1/2 months


Here's Kari at 26.5 weeks, protruding nicely. I'm still waiting for the day my angelic wife turns into a raging you know what...until then, Kari's doing great and so is our little baby.

Thanksgiving / Seorksan Park Part II

We didn't quite have a traditional Thanksgiving, but instead spent it with friends in Seoraksan National Park. The usual suspects were present: Freeborns, Scaperottos, Paganos, and new to Korea, the Croftons.

After a hike up to the waterfall.

With Buddha himself.

A view from the cable car, looking east down the valley to the East Sea.

Ben and Nathan, with amazed Korean onlookers in the background.

In preparation for the Korean karaoke bar, Fonz and I went incognito.

My best Eddie Vedder/Bruce Springsteen imitation. I believe the song was "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones. It's no wonder.
