Tallship Trip #3

IMG_0189


Third Tallship Island Hopping Cruise
2015.08.22~23 @ Near 여수 [Yeosu]

I ended up going on yet another Tallship Trip with WINK. This trip was a million times better than the previous one. On trip #2, the boat ran aground, and we had to be rescued by the Coast Guard. This time the trip went very smoothly, and we all just had a lot of fun. In addition to having a really fun trip, I had the chance to get to know Patty. Since the trip, we've begun dating. You'll definitely see her a lot more in posts in the future. The vibe on this trip was great; there were a lot of really good people aboard.

Tristan & CJ's Going Away Party

Goodbye to Good Friends
2015.08.28 @ Cantina del Sol in Suwon [수원]

This is definitely not my first post from a visit to Cantina del Sol, Suwon's best Mexican restaurant, but it the trip still needed a post, because it was CJ and Tristan's last night in Suwon. Tristan was one of my best friends here in Korea, and CJ was my go to support system for the two years he was here. They will both be greatly missed. Well, they already are greatly missed, seeing as though they left almost two months ago. They had a big impact on all of us here. You'll see in these photos how many people made the trip out to say goodbye.
