Going Away

[Miriel]

Del Murder and I went to South Korea (mostly stayed in Seoul) in October, Spain (Barcelona & Madrid) in May, and Mexico a few years ago.

South Korea was a lot of fun because my favorite Cousin and Aunt were living there and they were the most excellent hosts, EVER. We went all over the freakin' place, ate so much good food, hiked up a gorgeous mountain to find a buddist temple up at the very top, got all emotional at the Korean War memorial, etc.

Spain was harder because we don't know the language (that well). We got by though. We witnessed a pickpocketing incident which was great fun for us, pretty awful for the victim. But hey, if you're in Spain with your wallet right in your back pocket, you're just asking for trouble. Had a food epiphany while eating in a world renowned "street food" stand in La Boqueria, a huuuge open market place. The owner kept smiling at us and we asked what was good and he just sorta pushed food toward us. There was a moment where I couldn't speak, I was so amazed by the flavors and the textures of the food he'd given us.

Mexico was amaaazing. Can't wait to go back. We saw the pyramids, saw the ruins of ancient civilizations, lounged on the most beautiful beaches, and ate some seriously great food. We went hiking through the jungles, ziplining, cenote diving, went to a Mayan village and had home cooked food.

New Zealand is up next.
