181) Mild Days

Mild days mostly in reference to the weather the past couple days.  It has been a very nice relief from the heat that Seoul was getting slammed with.  Yesterday was particularly great- as I had the privilege to enjoy a great sunset while smoking a Cuban cigar on the roof-top patio of my friends studio in Namsan (Namsan is a nice area and mountain in central Seoul).   I took a bunch of pictures from that day, and I will post them later because they are on my G1 (film camera) and I haven't gotten it developed yet.  

I met a guy at the studio who will be opening up a cigar shop nearby, and he gave me a nice Montecristo to enjoy.  It brought back some memories of good cigars I have smoked in the past- beaches in the Bahamas, my parents back yard in the hot tub, an old buddies hot tub and some good conversations.  It was really nice to just watch a great sunset (I have seen very few in Seoul) and have some solitude and reflect on things.  

The days have not been very mild as far as activity lately.  I have been pretty much non-stop busy (except for today and yesterdays sunset) this past week.  Henry has been visiting from the states and staying with Chip.  The three of us all went to college, graduated, and to India together.  It has been good having Henry out here the past few weeks, and we have had some good times.  He will fly back home tomorrow thus ending a nice three week getaway for him.  Chip and him had the privilege of going to Beijing and watching a week of the olympics (lucky enough to see Phelps live and in action).
