Giving Thanks with a Jeju Getaway

Jeju is a dormant volcanic island off the southern tip of the Korean peninsula where a separate Korean province grows amazing tangerines, shows off its art and lava tubes, grows black pigs, and caters to tourists with museums, parks, and shops.
They even shrink all the wonders of the world into a mini-park so we can pretend to be world travelers! Again, many of the pictures can speak for themselves,

so I'll let them

Folk Village and funny folks

In Korea, EVERYTHING is the "perfect" place to take everyone's picture, but if there's a whole in it, you CAN'T pass it up without sticking your head in and saying "cheese!" (or kimchee!)

The coast!

Black lava rock instead of granite or sand!

The Flora and Fauna...

palm tree blooms!

Jeju Man is a symbol of the island from a more tribal time...

and his goofy brothers?!?

Thanks for coming on a little tour of my vacation-- there's more I could tell you and more pictures to see, but it's time to get back to the real world
