The Olympics Part VII: Beth, Seoul and Brein Tarkington


After departing our pension, we met up with Margaret's cousin, Beth, her fiance, George in the morning, and traveled to Seoul.  That night we met up with Brein Tarkington, and his wife Crystal (hopefully I spelled names correctly).  In the interim, we went to the top of the newly built Lotte World Tower, over 120 stories tall, approximately as high as One World Trade Center.  I’m not sure if N Korea was visible from on a clear day, but it is not unimaginable.  It was really beautiful.  Knowing Seoul some made it more enjoyable, especially with all the surrounding mountains. The next day, we got up, sent John and Laura on the train to Incheon Airport, and departed to head back down south to Daejeon to meet up with Ashely.
