Seoul Sight Seeing Day

After a long flight yesterday (nearly 14 hours) we arrived at our hotel, ate dinner, and then walked around the hotel before going to bed.
This morning we met our tour guide and she walked us to the Gyeongbokgung Palace.  We saw the I Seoul U sign on the way and also some other statues.  When we got to the palace we saw the changing of the guard.  We went to the museum of Korean History and saw the "blue house" - also known as the president's residence.  We went to a traditional Korean restaurant for lunch and had noodles and dumplings.  We took the bus back to the Namdaemun Market which was right across from our hotel.
