Incheon Grand Park

On the drive back from English Village we noticed how beautiful the Cherry blossoms were and decided that since we had the rest of the day off we should go and see more at the Incheon Grand Park. We had never been there before and wanted to go. And Ruth and Cleo decided to join us!



On the way to the bus stop we passed Juin/Nameless park. It looks a lot better now doesn't it?

While we waited for the bus to come Matthew took advantage of the beautiful blossoms near the bus stop.

Soon we realized that something was wrong. We had been waiting a good while for our bus number to come, but it hadn't come.

Buses came...

And buses went.

But still ours did not arrive. So Cleo asked a lady and we were told that it no longer runs that route. Then we decided to take the subway. None of us had been there before by subway so it was a fun adventure.

As we waited for the train I was looking at the different advertisements and saw this one. I don't know what it's for, but it's creepy. Is someone dying? Are they drowning and that was their last attempt for hope? Or is it some monster coming from the sea to get us?

Either way, it was slightly disturbing and humorous.

This is our tough look. We were not about to be messed with again. The train had to come!

And it did! We took the train, got off, and then took a bus to the park. It was slightly overcast so the sky isn't that great for pictures but it was still beautiful.

Make the above picture bigger and check out the bee. It's legs are filled with pollen.

This picture reminds me of the hand ad. Scary...

There were three rocks and so we did and Olympic pose. America all the way!!

As we were leaving we saw this performance area and noticed that it was not Korean traditional music coming from the speakers and went to investigate!

We don't know what tribe they represented but it was really bizarre to see it in Korea. It felt as if I was being invaded in my Korean world by other foreigners!

Finally we went home to get much needed rest for the following day. We've taken a lot of nature pictures recently but it's been such a blessing to see.

Psalm 18:1-4

"The heavens declare the glory of God;

the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Day after day they pour forth speech;

night after night they display knowledge.

There is no speech or language

where their voice is not heard.

Their voice goes out into all the earth,

their words to the ends of the world."

And truly nature speaks of the glory and majesty of God. Nature reveals God's character so magnificently. No matter where one is, nature speaks to us of its Creator. But I think, especially for us in the city, nature is speaking louder than ever.
