Thanks to our wonderful friend Anna, Patrick and I had the opportunity for a day for ourselves up in Seoul. We were going to get a whole weekend away but since Shelby Grace got sick again, we only went away for the day. We got to visit the Gyeongbok palace in Seoul, primary palace for the Chuson Dynasty. It is hard to imagine that these beautiful, green grounds are in the middle of a busy metropolitan city with the subway running right underneath.
Ancient Korean architecture is beautiful and the painting is so precise and detailed. I am amazed at the intricate designs that are all identical.
This shows reality of the new and the old mixed together.
After shopping in the foreginer sections of town and scoring some Fritos and DelMonte green beans, we searched for the new On the Border in a section of Seoul called Apgujeong. This is a fairly new On the Border and it took us a long time to find. Mostly because it is as small as an average Korean restaurant on a back alley of a neighborhood. We didn't think we would ever find it. 
There were maybe a total of 15 tables in the whole restaurant but it still tasted oh so good!

Check out the back road it's on.
The search was well worth the prize of dinner at the end.
