Shopping Shenanigans

Here’s a random moment in my life. Eric had asked me to go along on his shopping endeavor in order to get that female POV. I suggested calling our good friend Willie, who is the master of style. Eric asked if he was willing to help him out and Willie was like “Sure, I use to be on a committee that advised people on professional dress and development”.  …. That did not surprise me…AT ALL.

“A furry collar on a men’s blazer!? Oh no they didn’t!”

And the sky burned

It was the strangest sunset.

A rainbow cut faintly through the sky…

and I felt like I was in a dream.

This world was so vivid and strong, like a painting that had been set aflame. Daegu South Korea Sunset 4

It felt like it was a message to me alone. Daegu South Korea Sunset 5

To get up, to wake up and just live. Daegu South Korea Sunset 6

Rainy Day River Walk

Downtown Daegu - Rain

A faint rainbow in the background ❤

Analie and I decided to go watch a Samsung Lions game. Baseball games in Korea are just so awesome! Unfortunately, it got rained out. The silver lining (pun intended ಠ◡ಠ) was that it turned out to be a beautiful aftermath of a storm – rainbows, ducks and cranes galore! It was a perfect river walk.

Runoff water comes from street level and is dumped into the river.

Unfortunately, some garbage gets thrown in as well.

The water was amazing to watch against a vibrant tumultuous sky.

Cranes are sometimes hard to spot on the river, but today they were everywhere.

One of the best murals I’ve seen in Daegu. Daegu is known for it’s apples and beautiful women.
