Jeju

We had a fun time on our Jeju vacation: perfect weather and perfect company.  It was a welcome change to do domestic travel- it seemed so easy.... aside from having to drive on the shoulder of the highway to make our flight in time!
Seeing the island by scooter was definitely the way to go.
The view from the Eastern-most portion of the Island, sunrise crater.  We couldn't bring ourselves to get there by sunrise though.
Harubang: the stone grandfathers.  We saw these statues carved from lava rock everywhere.
The crater on top of Hallasan, the peak of Jeju and the highest point in Korea.  We hiked 9.8km each way for this view.
Squid hanging up along the coast to dry.  Koreans eat dried squid like we'd eat beef jerky.
Samgyetang: young chicken soup stuffed with ginseng, green onions, and rice. 
The girls wearing complementary aprons at the Samgyetang restaurant. 
The boys in aprons too.  Andrew in gingham on gingham.
Realizing the dessert we ordered was canned peaches on ice.  With cherry tomatoes. 
The Cheonjiyeong Waterfall.
Bein' Korean and hiding from the sun.
The Jeju Crew.
The inside of a bathroom stall.  It was a regular toilet (not a squatty potty) and the picture instructions want to be sure you know how to use it!
