Meeting the inlaws

The jet lag is not as bad this morning.  I tossed and turned, sure, but didn't abandon hope of sleep until 6:30.

Spent some time writing about yesterday's adventures.

7:00 am.  Mom and I went on a walk to the lighthouse along the beach (about 1.5 km).  We walked in the sea foam, and took it easy.  A swimming team was swimming the 2 km lap from the beach to the light house.

9:00 am.  Jesse tells us that we can be seen from a mile away, after he sneaks up and tries to grab me.  After a quick shower, we have breakfast, same as yesterday.

10:00 am.  Repacking our suitcases; I have to remove everything and refold it, any ineffeciency would make my suitcase too large.

11:00 am.  Inhae's father--our ride to ULSAN arrives, and we check out.  His new car is very comfortable, and we speed down the freeway.  On the way we decide to stop at the whale aquarium, where there are 3 dolphins.  The tank has an underwater archway, where we watch them doing tricks.

There is also a retired whale vessel, and across the street... Several shops selling whale meat 12 ways.

1:30 pm.  We met Inhae's mother, who is very busy putting together a feast in the kitchen.  There was a chicken salad, barbecued beef short ribs, noodles, fried battered zuchinni and mushrooms, etc.  Desert was a plate of very delicious strawberries and fruit.

I spent the next hour trying to get the slideshow to work on the televisions.  Finally success, though some of the photos are sideways.

Inhae's sister arrived, and then, off to the hotel.

5:00 pm.  After checking in, we change our dinner time from 5:30 to 7:30, since the feast at lunch hasn't left us with much reason to eat yet.  Then we went to walk down to a little white lighthouse near the beach.  The beach was a little torn up--new roads appeared to be in process, but slowly.  We had a lovely walk to the lighthouse, which is still in use, so we were turned out at dusk.  So we walked out to the rocks that it is warning about.

8:00 pm.  Dinner is at the buffet.  It's Parent's Day--the strawberries were a parent's day gift--and so the buffet is special.  This appeared to involve crab's legs and additional dishes, more sushi / sashimi.
