i'm on a boat


Recently, a group of us took a long 6 hour train ride north to the small coastal town of Jeongdongjin in Gangwon province to go on a cruise going nowhere. Let me explain. It's a hotel perched on top of a hill over looking the wide wide ocean - the hotel is shaped like a ship. It was our dear friend Suzanne's farewell before returning back home to South Africa after teaching English in Korea for 2 years.
There was lots of reminiscing, laughing, karaoke singing, swimming, teaching each other childhood games, eating, drinking, posing for pictures, souvenir shopping and jam sessions. This is how it all went down :)

got to love small town train stations - captain raquel and bella

We had such an amazing time and what a befitting way to say goodbye to our friend. Lucky for some of us, this angel is a South African and I'm glad to know this was not the last time I'll be seeing her. 

Suzanne you are an amazing friend. I pray that the Lord continue to watch over you and continue to use you to touch people's lives like you have touched mine.  Korea, your students and expat friends are really going to miss you. But for me, its not goodbye, its "until next time".
