Next stop, North Korea!

This weekend, we decided to go to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that separates North and South Korea.
Our tour took us to a tunnel that was discovered in 1978, that the North Koreans tried to dig between their capital city, and Seoul. Another part of the tour took us to an observation area where you can see across the demilitarized zone into North Korea. Unfortunately, it was pretty hazy on Sunday so we couldn't see a whole lot. Finally, we went to a railway station that was renovated in 2007 and was supposed to connect North and South Korea by rail so that South Korea can ship goods by rail to other countries like China. It is pretty much abandoned now, but its main claim to fame is that it's the only station in the world that shows the next stop 'Pyongyang,' which is in NK.

We definitely maximized our weekend... and it will pretty much be our last one in Korea, since we fly out early next Sunday.

Now we are wrapping up camp. All the kids are writing final tests today and tomorrow. I have also discovered that they love Tom and Jerry cartoons! I am cracking up because they are from the '50s and I have heard them say 'Zoot Suit' and 'Gee whiz' so far!
