Marion, :direct::rolleyes:

 

Looking for some pix that I haven't sent you.

 

Korea offered a lot of pix that have brought memories of the time I spent there over 50 years ago.

 

What a difference 50 years can make in a Country that doesn't stay "still"!

 

The Olympics showed that. And here is a pix of the bridge that was built from Pusan down to Koje Do island, which was a POW camp for the bad guys and is now a "Vacation resort" complete with hotels and fun things!

I picked these tomatoes this morning.

 

They are finally starting to ripen this year.

And one of my favorites from Clarence Beaver. The Korean quarter ton truck.

 

My grandpa said just a few days ago when he arrived in Germany it was like going 50 years back in time and when he arrived in Korea it was more like 100!!
