Palace #1

Seoul, South Korea
Friday, April 9, 2010

Today was our last chance to explore the two palaces that lay so tantalizingly close, i.e. just across the street from our hotel.

First up was Changgyeong Palace, which was first constructed in 1484. Various parts of the palace have burned down (more than once) and been rebuilt over the centuries. It is surrounded by lovely park-like grounds, which was perfect for bird-chasing and fish-watching from A's point of view.
