I live in Birmingham, Michigan, with my husband Kyle, our son Nathan and our daughter Evelyn. The blog is named for our late dog Pete, a Rhodesian Ridgeback who died in 2014. Late in 2015, we returned to the US after living five years overseas (Seoul, South Korea and Königstein im Taunus, Germany).

Here and There, Up and Down







Lunch in Itaewon
Last week we celebrated Chuseok by touring Seoul. Folks kept telling us how "empty" it would be because everyone goes on holiday. We still thought it was crowded...but then 
again how "empty" does a city of 13,000,000 get?

We are easy targets.


No matter where in the world you go, a mall food court is still a mall food court. Interestingly, no food vendors in the mall use paper or plastic. Everything is served on "real" stuff and "real" silverware.

A park on the opposite mountain face.

We could see our house! It's the one in the middle
with what looks like a solar panel. 

Kyle rocks :)
I said, "Now be silly."

Throughout the parks, there are little areas to stretch and work out. 

A perfect dip.

The walk down from N Seoul Tower Park to the Cable Car Station. It is a very beautiful park.

This week Kyle went back to work and I started my "classes." I am part of a tour group that learns about a different region of Seoul each week as well as a knotting class. There is a Korean name for it, but I can't remember it. That class had homework...hilarious! Oh, and don't forget flower arranging class! :)sbc

  2. Love the pictures. The last picture of the park reminds me of Central Park. Beautiful! How are the classes going? I'm thinking of taking a flower arranging course myself but I'll bet you'll learn much cooler stuff over there! Keep smiling :)
