Brrrr! What a switch in temperatures -- from tropical to sweater and jacket weather. Toured the DMZ
today and could not believe the American accent the guard had -- he was from Virginia!! We donned our helmets and went into the tunnel created by the North Koreans and discovered by South Korea in 1978. Could not take any pictures in the tunnel or of the S. Korean landscape as it was considered a military zone. Looking into North Korea, you could only see the barren landscape. Actually, it is amazing that the 38th parallel is open to visitation -- needless to say the security was extremely tight.. Lunched on the Korean cabbage "chim chi" and decided that living in S. Korea would truly cause most Americans to shed pounds. Tomorrow we leave the ship to spend an overnight in Beijing.
