seoul, south korea (2)

for our last evening in seoul we went back to our favorite stream,
on the way we ran into protesters making quite a scene.
in order to escape we walked with them for a bit,
and saw throngs of riot police ready for hit.
doughnuts and yummy treats were found along the way,
combined with music and art, it made a perfect day.

jeju do, south korea

jeju island is quite exquisite,
a common place for honeymooners to visit.
we spent much time outside,
as there are many natural beauties you cannot hide.
a volcanic crater, waterfalls, and mountain hike,
made this a trip we surely did like.
