Flying home, we passed over a seemingly endless mountain range below the country of Georgia. Gorgeous, if but for the plane wing right outside our window... 

Brad's favorite memory of the weekend in Korea...a happy couple, and beautiful. 

The day following the wedding, Tracy wore a traditional costume all day. She looks happy! 

Tracy, her two brothers, Jason, and two sets of parents join together after the big event. 

Our primary reason for visiting Korea--Jason and Tracy wed in her home church, in beautiful surroundings. A string quartet, choir, dancers, and countless flowers brightened the event even further. 

Tracy's father preaches in his church in Incheon. We enjoyed our days living with them in their apartment. 

So many choices...and the first round of dishes has already been cleared and replaced! 

Most restaurants involved sitting on the floor on pillows. Here is a barbeque at your table style dinner. 

Thanksgiving day in Seoul. Note to colorful costumes, even on the little fellows. 

While staying with our son Jason's wife Tracy's family in Korea, we took off our shoes a LOT! Brad vowed to buy loafers for the next visit. 

Brad and Anita enjoy a tasty meal in Incheon. 

Morning winter snow outside our apartment. Beautiful to wake up to. 

Yes, we had to step outside to have our chests x-rayed. Please pay special attention to the strangely radioactive appearing spot at the bottom of the x-ray hut and the suspicious looking pile of ashes to its left...and where is our new Chief Secretary? 

Foreigners living in Russia must have health checks each six months. Today employees and staff loaded into three vans and travelled to a nearby clinic to give blood, have our skin checked, and our bones photographed. Notice our fashionable footwear... 

Brad and Cadet Vanya "share" some watermelon. 

Anita smiles on the upper left while her cadets play dominos and enhoy cheese dip brought back from Helsinki. 

Cadet Vicka samples some peanut butter (rarely found in Moscow) during a checkers match. 

Cadet Dima eats oranges and plays checkers. 

Here is just a small part of the 35 pound behemoth of a watermelon the cadets consumed while visiting the Caldwells for game night. 

Cadets from the Heralds of the Good News session visit the Caldwell apartment for games and a 35 pound watermelon! 

Kiev from eighteen floors high. A typical downtown street crammed with apartment buildings and office space. 

One of our classroom locations for the First Year Officer Review afforded us an overview of a nearby soccer stadium in Kiev. 

Beso and Irma Nibierdze enjoy a pot pie in Kiev while away from their home country of Georgia. 

Ukraine Divisional Commander Major Marie Willermark grins broadly, reflecting her enjoyment of her appointment away from her home in Sweden. Secretary/translator Irina embraces her leader and friend. 

Discussion transpires between officers, respectively as viewed, from Moldova, Ukraine, Romania, and Georgia. This gathering of officers in Kiev was a welcome break despite its educational nature.
