Tank Beach


I drove to the other side of the island and found this beach. A high school is located near here, this is a similar view to what the see out of their school. Amazing!

Cow Crossing


So, I was wondering why the guy ahead of me was slowing down. Now I see why...there was a cow walking across the road. You have to admit he is pretty close to the crosswalk.

American Memorial Park Beach


Spent my last day at the American Memorial Park. It was crazy windy out...but kept me cool in the beautiful sunshine.

Saipan Sunset


I sat out here my last night. It was a enjoyable, peaceful way to end my vacation.

Last night....


This is the last shot of me in Saipan. Man, how I will miss it!

Breakfast at Starbucks!


A berry scone and a chai tea latte was a good start to my birthday!

Birthday wishes can come true!


We found a little Mexican hideaway for lunch on my birthday! It was amazing. Authentic all the way baby!!!!

Do they look excited?


We couldn't wait to eat some good Mexican food. It was amazing....I will return to this little place in Itaewan whenever possible.

I love Starbucks!


It is hard to pass up a Starbuck's. You don't see very many western franchises with Korean writing as well.

Mmmm....


Burger King is a wonderful sight to see. I took this for Teri along with a few others for her to see a "little" piece of Seoul.

N Seoul Tower


Namsan Seoul Tower is a communication tower in Seoul. It is 777 ft. tall. I find it more of a tourist destination but glad to see that it has a purpose as well.

View from the top!


Looking out onto beautiful Seoul, South Korea!

Outside the gift shop.


Not much to say about this shot. It just proves I was there!

Who knew?


So, they are still working on their spelling here in Korea.

My birthday crew!


Stephanie, Sarah, and Nate were my birthday crew in Seoul. I am one lucky girl. Thank you guys so much for a great time.

Don't be scared...


It gets better...this looks a little crazy, I know! I usually pull it back..I'm working on it! :) Sara in all her Korean glory.

My new hairdooo!


I got fun new hair again. It is only braided like 2 in. then it is all spirally curls! :) I love it!

Christmas Eve.


Sarah, Nate and I went shopping at Kyobo and stopped at Starbucks for a little Christmasy treat!

Another tattoo........


Yes, this is another tattoo! It is in memory of my brother, Adam. It says Adam in Korean. I miss you little brother!

Our tree Christmas morning!


It looks like Santa came to Korea!

Looking at pictures from home!


Opening my box from my mommy and daddy! Looking at pictures....missing my family!

Christmas Breakfast!


After opening presents we had a great Christmas breakfast thanks to Nate and Sarah!! We ate to much as well as made to much! It was delicious.....

Christmas in Korea!


We went out for dinner in Chilgok for Steph's birthday! We found a Christmas tree to pose in front of. Good food, good friends and good times as always!

Breakdown....


Here we are hanging outside the shuttle bus, it broke down on the way home from Stephanie's birthday party at Outback! Only in Korea!

A Korean Christmas!


It's Christmas time in Korea!

I know he is weird....


Nate is starting to act like Sarah, he wants to be in every picture! But I love him, he was my shopping buddy today so I should be nice!

The last ornament...


I am getting ready to put the last ornament on the tree. I hope I do a good job!

My Christmas Crew!


This is what I'm working with, and I love it!

All by myself!


I put an ornament on all by myself! Aren't you proud of me?

Making food with the girls!


Catalina, Dana and myself hanging out in the Sky Lounge during the Christmas festivities.

Did someone say stuffing???


Here is Mo toasting the bread to make stuffing. I'm pretty sure she did this for at least 2 days! No, seriously every time I came back upstairs she was in the oven! I love you MO!

Sarah and her potatoes...


Sarah and Nate made the potatoes..do you think we have enough? No, seriously they didn't think we would have enough...we ate potatoes for a week and loved it! Yes, she peeled all of those...good job!

Turkey, turkey, turkey....


Here is how we cook turkey in Korea! Caroline cooked 3 turkeys for us in a convection oven. They were awesome...thank you again!

You know I love Mac & Cheese


Stephanie's amazing Macaroni and Cheese and I helped! :) We made most of our food in the kitchen cafeteria. It was great!

Our Feast, Korean style....


Here we are waiting patiently to get these pictures over with so we can eat some good food! It was soooo delicious!

One crazy Texan!


You can see the slingbox being watched on the wall behind him. This is Travis, another boy that enjoys watching football! Thanks for the football games.

Another Crazy Texan!


This is Tad, he is one of the Texans you record football games for mom and dad! He's all decked out including his rally towel for the game.

Getting some cardio after all the good food!


So, I've always wanted to play the drums. Thought I would start out slow with this one. :) I don't think I was that bad...

My diggs....


So, here it is...all the way at the end of the hall on the left....429...it's great!

All mine.


Just another picture of my room! I love having my own space.

Walking in....


Here I am walking into my room. Are you living the experience? Do you feel like you are in South Korea? :)

Heather I hope this helps.


This is my room. The patio is behind me and the bathroom is on the right and the door out is straight ahead. Now I hope you can visualize me when you talk to me.

The last?


I hope this is the last Korean bathroom I have. It will be strange to actually have a shower and tub when I return to the states. I apologize in advance if I shower on your bathroom floor! :) hehe

Pretty red bushes...


I just thought these were pretty. The colors are vibrant!

My favorite!


This is my favorite picture today. It is now my background on my computer. It looks like something from a post card.

Cattails???


I think of my parents when I see these things. I'm not sure if they are cattails but they are for me today! It is so peaceful out today......

Village from the other side.


Here is a shot of the village from the other side. The plane looks so small from here.

Woodpecker home!


There was a beautiful woodpecker but he kept flying around. I couldn't get a shot of him so I thought the next best thing would be his home. :)

Leaves...leaves...leaves


It is hard to get a shot of the trees without that huge main building in front of them. It was a beautiful day for a walk.

Looking off my patio.....


Here is a shot off of my patio. The fall colors are great, but not as good as MN or CO.
