Hey all. We are on our way to lunch after just visiting the DMZ. It was pretty incredible. Our first stop was a memorial park nearby the most touristy section of the border. It was so touristy that there was a theme park...a Pirate theme park (no joke! I have pictures of a very intimidating looking Captain Hook). We then learned we would be unable to visit the first DMZ station, so we drove quite a bit further and went to the observatory that was the closest guard post to N Korea. We had an absolutely fantastic view of the DMZ. It was shockingly beautiful, very lush and green. This is because the North Korean government puts a ton of effort into keeping the korean border not evil looking. We heard the China border is brown and ravaged. We heard a presentation from a soldier and and even got some very ilegal pictures (one of which is Pastor Rick holding a plastic M16 and looking very menacing). We then had a prayer session while we looked out over N Korea. It was awesome. Ok, we're here at the restaurant after some parking acrobatics from our very talented bus driver. See you all later!
