0502 Leavin' on a jet plane

All my bags are packed [and re-packed, and re-packed],
I'm ready to go ...
... 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

Yesterday's (MAY 01) schedule:
Tour Jung Ang Hospital
Lunch [cheeseburgers, YUM!)
NamChang pottery village
Icecream break, fair visit, and seaside hike
Farewell dinner celebration
Homestay

Though yesterday was a full day, it officially ended happily (and somewhat weepy, I dare say).

Today is a special day in South Korea - it is the celebration of Buddha's birthday. It is a bittersweet day for us as we will return home while leaving people and places that have made significant impacts on us.

Today some of us will go to temple with our families, some will run to the market or shop to pick up those items we've remembered that we absolutely must have to take home, some will rest before the looong ride home.

We will all take the memory of this wonderful experience home with us.
