Seoul day 2 and 3




A lot better! I signed up for a DMZ tour for my second day. It dawned sunny and brisk but pleasant. Trees here are still mostly bare of leaves. This DMZ thing is a head scratcher to me. Across this water is North Korea. The train in view is returning from there. It runs to a station just inside the border. Our guide (Angel) was a sweetie, but I could not understand much of what she said. I don't know who can ride this train. Later there will be some photos of the train station to nowhere.
These folks are praying and placing messages on a fence in front of the track and the gray building you see in the first images.
The sign describing this locomotive was in Korean. It was riddled with holes (probably from bullets) and must have been destroyed in the war.
