Confucian retreat...




Today is Lunar New Year, and it is like a beautiful May day. In fact, we saw a gorgeous meadow fritillary (butterfly, or nabe in Korean) today, so spring must be on its way here! We can't believe that, in mid-February, we are wearing light jackets and soaking in the sunshine. Ahhh... (sorry to all of our Canadian friends and family for gloating!!) While the girls lounged at home this afternoon, reading and relaxing, we took advantage of the beautiful weather to tour a historical spot in Taejon where a famous Confucian scholar established a school back in the 1600s. It was a very peaceful spot and seemed like a perfect place to ponder the arrival of spring.
