Visit to The Netherlands - Visual memory to our future


Upon arriving at the airport in Amsterdam about 6 AM on Saturday the 16th of October, KyungIl, his parents, and his sister and her family came out to greet me at my arrival. How emotional and wonderful it was that morning.


Here, KyungIl and his Sister and family pose for a picture.




The two photos above were taken during our visit to Heusden. A very old town that once was used as a military fort. *I have to admit we visited many places and I hope that I am remembering everything correctly.


The photo above is of KyungIl and his oldest brother in front his Teak Furniture Store.


Me & KyungIl. Taken by his brother on our train ride home after a day in Amsterdam together.

KyungIl and his very good friend. One evening, we went to visit his friend in the town where he resides. It was very nice to meet her and her family. It was so great to be able to see a little bit of his world and the friendships he cherishes.
