Cheonggyecheon Stream - part 2

Apparently I had too many pictures on the last post because it wouldn't let me post anymore! But I have just a few more to share. I didn't want to post too many pictures, but it still seems like a lot. But when you consider that I took 290 pictures today, it really ISN'T that many posted pictures!!!
She wanted to see just how cold the water really was...yep VERY cold!!!

 Monkey see...

 Monkey do...

And then we needed to get ACROSS the stream. I'm not really such a fan of moving water as it is whizzing past me, but it doesn't seem to bother Mr Navy man Stacy. Personally, I thought he was a bit crazy for attempting to cross with BOTH boys, but they made it with no problem!!! It was actually quite comical to watch because Hyeon su was always in front of everyone and they Jeong hui had to HOP across every stone.

 Elizabeth really wasn't sure about crossing the stream either...this picture was taken right after I told her that I could send Uncle Stacy back to hold her hand too if she wanted! HA!!! And yes, I'm sure she is going to kill me for posting this, but it is just too funny!

 Anybody watch the Amazing Race? Last season, they made a stop in Seoul. This pagoda was a Pit Stop for the leg of the race. It is directly behind the Westin Chosun hotel. I didn't realize that it was also directly across the street from City Hall!

 Speaking of City Hall...it did NOT look like this when we were here 4 years ago!!! I'm assuming that they are doing some kind of renovation and the lower left part is a facade while they do repairs. While we were here, we HAD to do some geocaching!!! We were 1 for 2 today. There are just SO many people it makes it extremely difficult to find anything without being noticed!

 The building in the distance, on the left that says Officia on the top is the building is where the Bibigo restaurant is located. Not too far at all!!

Across from City Hall is Deoksugung Palace. It is another palace that was built during the Jeoson Dynasty. We were able to tour it 4 years ago and it was closed today. But one very interesting part that we hadn't paid any attention before is the southern most wall. It is rather beautiful and the street that runs along it is aptly named "Stone Wall Road." We walked along it to try to find another geocache and I couldn't pass up this wonderful photo op!
