Today’s Distance / 今日の走行距離:about 65km

English Summary: I be in Seoul. Now get me out of here! Big hot city. All of the crazy big city bad feelings were made up for however by the fantastic hospitality of Mark and Unhey (please correct me on the spelling of your name, Unhey!). They put me up for a night in their wonderful home in a quiet neigbourhood just out of Seoul. Mark is a fellow recumbent rider who made a few posts on my Korea page. You guys are legendary!

やっとソウルに着きました。相当な達成感を感じながら都心空港(貿易ビルの近く)に到着しました。

そして今日泊まるところは米軍のマークさんのお宅です。このホームページで知り合って、ソウルに着いたら是非泊まってくださいとのことでした。マークさんもリカンベント自転車に興味があって、最近中国のチンダオ市から北京までの1000kmを自転車で行ったそうです。お互いに興味が合って、とても楽しい一泊となりそう。晩御飯はバーベキューで、軍の友達の何人かも来られました。

Rob,

Sounds like your trip is going well. I hope you continue to enjoy yourself. I visit your website once in a while to track your progress. Keep plugging. I've been doing some touring around the Colorado area. Unfortunately, my job limits these activities somewhat. I went from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs last week, with all my camping gear. I really enjoyed it. In a couple weeks, I may be doing a Granby-Walden tour. Take care.

Jim

BTW, my wife grew up in Japan.

Well, that was nice, having a night in a real house. Where was the American barbie?

The trick to making a gas cooker into a real barbie is to get healthy as sausages, and drip the fat onto the gas burner. Fun and games!!! Flames, and charcoal coated food is what it's all about!
