    Awesome, Cliff - Annyeonghaseyo!! Hopefully you’ve read, or at least heard about, MacArthur’s famous behind enemy lines 1950 Inchon Landing, which saved South Korea in the war! I hope/assume you’ll make it to the BIG city and, if there’s time, I’d recommend a tour of Panmunjom at the DMZ. It’s right across the line from the North Korea in a very stressful setting. Either way, enjoy some bulgogi and real ramen!! Back in the day, street food offerings I enjoyed included a bag of fried shrimp for about 100 won, which was equivalent to $.25! I don’t know the exchange rate these days but I’m sure that price is gone up as with everything else. Enjoy the rest of your trip and safe travels when you finally head home!!

    I’ve missed your pictures the last several days. Looks like no shortage of food or shopping. I hope you’re having a great time. I know you’re probably trying. Lots of new foods. Enjoy!

Um Parque com Ginasio

Image
  For my first full day in Sao Paulo, I mostly walked around and explored the area more without any real agenda. I went by the Pinocoteca (Brazilian art museum) and the surrounding Parque Jardim de Luz. I gotta say, the highlight of my day was finding an outdoor gym with equipment made out of stones and cement. I was pretty shocked when I saw it, but since I was in shorts and a tank top and hadn't worked out for a couple days, I got a nice little workout in! I will definitely be back tomorrow as well.   It smells SOOOOO good when walking around. I have yet to indulge in any real local foods, but I will tomorrow. I have some good recommendations from a couple of friends who have been here. Everything is very cheap here and the people are friendly.    There are quite a bit of homeless and I've been warned multiple times to be vigilant, not have my phone out constantly, etc. I knew coming here that it was a place to exercise much more caution than most places I've visit...

Healthy Mind, Body, & Soul

     Yesterday we had some sun and nice weather for most of the day, so we made it a beach day. We took a Grab (Asia's version of Uber) to Canguu beach and paid for two sun beds and an umbrella. There were a lot of people out but it didn't feel overly crowded. I started a new book and Mike listened to some podcasts while we enjoyed the scenery.   The water was pretty rough and the waves broke very close to shore, so it was not ideal for swimming. The water was also not as clear or pretty as I've seen at some other beaches, I think because of the rough surf. It was pretty comical watching the inexperienced surfers try to catch waves, and even more funny watching them try to get out. With the big breaks and strong undertow, many struggled to get out of the water and the locals had to help them. I know the feeling!    We've had some great meals so far. Eggs Benedict and avocado toast in the morning, tacos for lunch, pizza for dinner. We have a reservation tomo...

Thank You Seminyak, Bali

Image
   Today, for my last full day in Bali, I really tried to take in the neighborhood and culture. It was a beautiful, sunny morning so I took the easy 20 minute walk to the beach and soaked in the sun. Semenyak Beach is beautiful and I kind of wish I had stayed here for the entire week in Bali.    As the rain clears and Bali enters their summer season, I know I will be back. Of the 10 new countries I have visited in the last year, Indonesia and Thailand are at the top of the list to visit again. And that's considering how humid it gets and how easily I sweat, lol! I just think they are both beautiful countries, with equally beautiful and welcoming people, rich culture, delicious food.     The above pictures are all from Seminyak Beach. Below are pictures of my neighborhood. Every morning, offerings in the form of small plates are made to the gods and you see them everywhere. Like in most Asian countries, Indonesia has a great reverence for their gods and...
