The longest day

Day 11
After having an awesome last day in Bali, we were dropped at the airport to wait for our midnight flight to Seoul, Korea.  It was about a 6 or 7 hour flight there, then a layover for about 12 hours.  We slept as best as we could on the flight, then had to go through customs to get out of the airport. Customs took about an hour, then we had no plan to get to the city, Seoul. After wandering for about 30 minutes, we decided to just jump on a bus and get out and see Korea!  Korea is not my favorite place.  It was freezing there, and it smelled funny. No one spoke English, which made it extra hard.  We walked around for a while, and Brian stumbled upon a shop selling something called bubble tea. He was so excited and said we had to stop and get one! He had them in Taiwan and thinks they're delicious.  (It is some sort of herbal tea, apparently). It has weird jello chunks or something in it. I took one sip and the rest was Brian's.

 We walked around trying to find a sushi place for me. I thought Korea was one of those places like Japan that made really good sushi. Sadly, I was wrong.  We found a little hole in the wall to eat at though. We got Ramen and Sushi. We ordered too much....

We really should have shared. I got my own Ramen though
 As we were walking around, we were able to see an extremely old gate that led into the city. We took an obligatory picture.  I pulled my hood down, but Brian was too cold to dare do that..

I was so miserable and cold (so was Brian, I just complained more) that we decided to buy a $4 sweater for both of us to wear.  They are pretty hideous now that Im not cold, but they saved our lives while we were there walking the streets of Seoul.  We decided after window shopping a while that we should head back to the airport.  We hopped on our next 10 hour flight for the United States! One more stop though to Seattle for about 6 hours.  Jennifer was so nice to come up and get us from the airport and take us out to eat.  We loved being with her.  She is seriously the best. We were happy to see Brady too!! Here are just a few pictures of being with them!

We got to Boise around 9 pm that night, having started in Bali that same day, hitting Korea, Seattle, and flying 18 hours. It was crazy! We were beat! We were happy to see Brian's mom, and were happy when we got home to rest from our crazy adventures.
