That Looks Familiar

My friends in Seattle may think I never left. I was very surprised to see this familiar sculpture in downtown Seoul. The Hammering Man--also seen outside the Seattle Art Museum--is part of a series with Hammering Men in locations throughout the world. The one in Seoul is the tallest at 72 feet high.

Heading East

The journey begins. First stop: Seoul. A whole day dedicated to jetting to the other side of the word. Thursday morning I saw the sun rise in Portland and followed it West. When I arrived in Seoul it was Friday night. Somewhere along the way Thursday became Friday which is probably the closest to time travel I will get.
