This is a glimpse into my "home life." It's not in-depth but I think it's pretty true to my experiences. I hoped to take a picture everyday when I got here but that's not gonna happen. Living in the moment is a constant goal of mine, I have not yet come close. But every moment is a new opportunity.
Cheorwon is a pretty delightful, if not isolated part of Korea. Claire and I are battling constant illness and the struggles of first year teaching. It's wonderful to watch the transformation from late winter to spring. I miss the spring showers of Ohio, it's dry here until summer. I don't miss the pilgrims.
As far as normal life in Korea is concerned, it's not a very big adjustment in terms of amenities and lifestyle. I have all of my basic needs met, the challenge is to push beyond what little comfort zone you can build up with routine/relaxation. So these pictures are a snippet of the smaller adventures over the last two months.
Lots to love. Have a look.

금학산
My place
This is as far as I could make it up Geumhaksan (금학산), this is a good example of how steep and scary it was, to me at least. Beautiful day.
On a clear Friday after school.
GUSH
North side of town.
Late February, a block from home.
This was in February also.
Some Western food in town.
More pictures of our trips to Sokcho and Seoul are coming soon! As well as more notes on the DMZ and jazz.
