Sunday after church, our friends invited us over to their home for lunch. They served us traditional Korean meal which was a wonderful feast. The main course was which is a BBQ bacon-type pork which is placed in a lettuce leaf and a sesame leave - pronounced sam gyop sal. Rice and some chili paste is added and then it's wrapped together and eaten. It was delicious. The little yellow mounds are a potato/butternut squash salad and there were other sides, fried squid, mandu, and some sweet potato. So tasty. It seemed like we ate for hours. They also served several different fruits for dessert - mandarin oranges from Jeju island, honeydew, and a persimmon. David ate at least 2 of the oranges himself. We brought Ghiradelli brownies which they considered to be a treat since they don't have an oven.Cindy and Johnny, their children, played w/David while we ate. Tha
t in and of itself was a wonderful treat. He had a great time with them. They did a great job tiring him out since he passed out in the car on the way home. After lunch, we discussed a possible 3 day roadtrip around Korea. We unfortunately can't go because of Alan's work schedule but we had planned to visit all 3 coasts in Korea.

Jo and Moon-ja are part of a home school co-op and they've spent several years in the United States so they've met many Americans and speak much better English than we will ever speak Korean. They are a wonderful family and it's been a blessing to know them.
