Christmas Eve day one part two.

WAfter ending our tour to see the DMZ, we got on the subway to head out to see the city. First subway ride!

We excited near City Hall. There is an ice rink out front. 

And a beautiful Christmas tree of lights. 

We entered the Deoksugung Palace. It is still so striking to see old world buildings in the center of a modern city. 

Family photo the baby was wide awake. My gloves reflected the flash. Makes Theo look like he has head lights. 

We went into the museum and walked around. It was a Korean Modern art museum. They had a great collection. We found a nursing room. It was a nice quite place to change the baby and feed him. 

After touring the museum we walked back out to city hall. We rounded the corner and found anther lite up tree. Bill loves Christmas lights. 

As we were leaving this area we watched two sets of police with riot gear walk in the opposite direction we were headed. We had past a railroad protest earlier in the day. It could have been for that or something different. Bill wanted to follow, but I objected. 

We made it back to the City Hall area. 

We walked a few blocks to find dinner and finally settled on an Italian place. We had pizza with sweet potatoe and honey along with bacon and garlic. It was quite tastey and different. We took the metro home and were in bed by 10pm. A full day of touring.
