Mudfest Boryeong, South Korea

Every summer, the city of Boryeong hosts a mud festival in South Korea. The mud is apparently spa quality and is used as an ingredient in many cosmetics. At the festival, mud is dumped in big vats for festival goers to cover themselves. Brian attended this year's mudfest and here are some photos:

Independence Day Festivities

Mom, Dad, and I celebrated July 4th with family friends. We had a huge barbeque feast at Jan and Gary's, and then headed out to their dock for fishing and relaxing. Here are some photos:
