This will be short because jet lag(or jet leg as Abby calls it) has hit. We slept well last night. This morning we served in the Babies' Home here at Eastern Social Welfare Society. Although, the word serve is a misnomer because it was pure joy. First we cleaned 3 rooms and the got to the babies. You should have heard all of us women saying "aaahhh" and "ohhhh" and "how cuuuuute" over the babies in their little wooden beds. I'd estimate 35-40 babies were in there. Dang, nothing cuter than little Korean babies with stick up black hair! Let's just say, yes, we cried. So precious and so heart-breaking to see all those babies in need of families. For confidentiality, we aren't allowed to post pictures of the babies' faces(drat because they are so pretty!) Fyi, the pink blankets do not mean they are all girls, they just use pink blankets. We were amazed at how well organized the head nurse and caregivers were. They keep a chart of when and how much each baby eats. Everything was spotless and organized.
Suffice it to say that one of the babies loved me. Yes, he really did. He stared in to my eyes and laughed when I played with him.
Later on in the day we toured a 1000 year old palace. We had a sweet 14 year old tour guide.
We ate Korean pork BBQ wrapped in lettuce leaves for supper--yummo!
Miss my man and boys at home. Abby's allergies are acting up and she doesn't act like she feels all to great. I'll dope her up tonight after a hot shower.
