a whirlwind.

as these types of things often are...

we've completed over a week of classes with our wonderful students & spent a full day running around seoul. we've tried all sorts of new foods, seen mountains & tombs & rivers & fashion & art & towers & i can't even remember what else. we've met warm and kind koreans, opening their homes & taking us out for special meals & showing us their rich history & famous places.

i'm sorry this is so jumbled. so mixed up & seemingly random, but it's much like how our trip has gone. we have little information of where we are going or what we are going to do once we get there, but when we do finally get to where we are going, it's wonderful.

the people we've met are so kind and generous, giving whatever they have and welcoming us into their lives.

the history here is so rich & deep; and our tour guides (our students) are so appreciative & respectful of their heritage.

our students give us their full attention (most days) & participate in our crazy lessons.

i am so thankful to be a part of this whirlwind. perhaps i'll write more coherent thoughts later, but for now just know i am thankful.
