Our Korean Adventure Day 2 – Exploring Suwon

After a good night’s sleep, we woke up to sunshine and decided to spend more time exploring the area. Kevin and Michelle were busy with a wedding photoshoot so they weren’t able to join us today.

Pete and Melissa didn’t make it to the hotel restaurant in time for breakfast, so we found a delicious alternative nearby – Coffee Knock.  And look – it’s not ALL traditional Korean food.

Next we meandered the streets of Suwon – looking for the fortress we had heard was worth seeing.

And it definitely was worth seeing!

The park was full of kids wanting to practice their english with us.

Crossing a river as we continued to explore.

The Jidong Market – we came back to this spot multiple times.  It was a great glimpse of the local commerce.

We ran into another portion of the fortress and decided to take a quick look.

The view of the wall crossing the bridge, and the view looking back toward the market.
