The best way to start this blog is to just say it...today was AWESOME!
I woke up refreshed and we were served another very special hot dog breakfast. The eggs on the side were pretty tasty. :)
After breakfast we enjoyed a presentation of Korean music. It was fascinating! We sang in Korean, played drums and danced. All of the campers were enthusiastic about participating which made it even more fun. During the break we did Korean chair exercises...yep, it's as entertaining as it sounds. Since then, Michelle, Susan and I have been putting on spontaneous chair exercising performances for others around us...I think they really like it. I think they also really like it when we sing awful Black-Eyed Peas songs in the cafeteria during lunch. Hey, we are just trying to help everyone enjoy their quarantine!
Fortunately, today I was also able to practice my disc-throwing with Lindsey. We played with some laid back guys and they were patient with our less than graceful disc skills.
Being stuck in this building with nothing to do has, surprisingly, not been terrible. Everyone has an attitude that says, "We're all in this together, so let's make the best of it." We find ways to enjoy ourselves with making each other laugh, sharing stories, pictures, watching youtube videos. It's amazing how we all just seem to have an incredible time even under our circumstances. Can we continue to do this until Sunday? I don't know...we'll find out.
Our next exciting event was a hike through the forests of Wando. The views were gorgeous and the pictures don't quite capture it. We hiked to the top of a hill and found a beautiful gazebo. Most of the campers headed back to the camp but Michelle, Shannon and I said, "ONWARD"...I like to make things sound way more exciting than they actually are.
We continued on our journey through forests and man-made waterfalls then found a ton of beautiful Korean architecture. We strolled through some beautiful gardens with trees and flowers we had never seen. There were beautiful dragonflies everywhere and we took our shoes off to walk through a stream of clear water. Then we made our way up to an amazing wooden house with gorgeous pillars and awesome doors. There was a nice looking Korean man walking slowly around the building...he must have decided to take a relaxing walk around on his lunch break. We had a moment of silence while taking in all of the beauty around us. Just as we prepared to take a picture, the man walked passed us let a loud one rip.
To end the night, the camp staff set up a karaoke party for us. It was a lot of fun and Michelle put on an adorable performance as she sang Pasty Cline for us. :) Look forward to the picture of her singing in tomorrow's blog...which I supposed for you would be today. Also stay tuned to see how we will celebrate a birthday in quarantine! Michelle's Birthday is tomorrow and I'm looking forward to seeing just how fun we can make the day for our little Magical Unicorn.
