The End -- the final posting

I've been home now for a week and am returning easily to life in my 3rd floor walk-up. It's good to be amongst my things (although I do need to clean out and reduce their number) and to walk around the neighborhood which is incredibly green and pleasant. Skies here are amazingly blue.

While I miss the congregation at the Seoul Anglican Cathedral, it was really heart-warming to return to worshiping at St. John the Evangelist, my home parish. My first Sunday back was Pentecost so the Gospel was read in several languages. I did a portion in Korean.
I've returned to my "Forever Fit" aerobics class (for the over-50 folk) at the YWCA and the after-class coffee klatch on Tuesdays. At the first session I shared some goodies from Korea.

Katy's buddy Mignon came over for one of their usual Wednesday play dates. It was fun to see him again and watch the two of them chase each other around.
So I'm well settled back into my Minnesota life.

I had believed/hoped that with the perspective of a week away from Korea I would have some profound thoughts on the country and my experience living there. I don't. . . . I had a marvelous time and am very happy I had the opportunity for such a long stay but am not sure I could summarize or comment in any conclusive way.

It's been great fun sharing my Korea Adventure through this blog. Even though I'm sure the readership is small, it was fun feeling like a pundit for a while, laying out my thoughts and experiences for others to read, think about, and occasionally comment on. But the adventure is over, I'm home, and it's time for this blog to end. So this is the final post.
