The library was once more, our
destination for chatting this Monday, and we settled into our normal table. We
began speaking about traveling again, mainly about the beauty of the national
parks here in the states. I told Hwa Won about Yellowstone in particular
because it’s my favorite park.
Yellowstone National Park
unlike any other place I’ve been to. It’s as though it’s sitting on a gigantic
volcano that’s too tired too burst. There are paint pots of scalding colorful
water, sulfuric smelling and bubbling fountains, and geysers erupting out of
the ground. I told Hwa Won that there is even one geyser that shoots water into
the sky every 91 minutes. It is named Old Faithful because it’s so predictable.
I showed her a few pictures so she could see exactly what I was talking about.
Hopefully Hwa Won is able to visit at some point, because that’s one spot that
is completely unique to America.
Talk of America soon led
to me asking about how Hwa Won’s children adjusted to the move from South Korea
to the U.S. She said they were very comfortable with it because they had been
so young. Her son for example loves amusement parks, and she doesn’t know what
he’s going to do without them once they go back to South Korea. Lines for rides
in South Korean amusement parks are apparently hours long. It’s not worth the
trip. That’s why they go to Busch Gardens so regularly. Why not go as often as
you want while you still can?
