The Main Palace




Here are some pictures of our visit to Gyeongbok Palace.


This is the main palace in South Korea. The Chosun Dynasty got it's start in this location, which is the ancient glory days for the peninsula. A number of the buildings where rebuilt after a few Japanese evasions.

The grounds are simply beautiful and the structures are rather nice. Unfortunately, Danielle and I are ignorant of most of the history and significance to this place, so we certainly need to go back as we learn more about Korean culture and history we will need to go back.

But in the meantime, we are dumb Americans....
