Locks of Love

Our Lock of Love! 
Seoul Tower. Reminds me of Disney!

Thousands of locks that line the fence overlooking Seoul.
 Dennis and I went on a Night Tour of Seoul this weekend where we got to explore some of the top spots in the city. There were four stops total on the tour and the first being a small folk village where we got to explore traditionally Korean Houses. The second stop was to the biggest shopping district in the world called Myeongdong. It had a variety of stores H&M, Zara, Gap, Mango and even a Smoothie King which Dennis was overly excited about. The third stop was my favorite. We got to visit Seoul Tower which is a tower that is placed atop one of the near-by mountains that overlooks the city of Seoul. When we arrived we first had to take a cable car to the top of the mountain where they stuffed us in like sardines. We get to the top of the mountain and while looking around we see thousands upon thousands of locks placed on the fence which overlooks the city. Our tour guide precedes to tell us that this is a tradition in Seoul for young lovers to place locks upon the fence to symbolize their endless love. Since Dennis and I got married in this city we decided to buy two locks to symbolize our everlasting love. We added them to the fence with a special message inscribed saying who the locks belonged to with a message inspired from my Grammy "Love to you". You are suppose to throw away the keys, Dennis and I did not know this until after we left, sealing your commitment to each other. Next time we visit we will have to bring our keys to throw over the fence hopefully not hitting anyone below. This is one of those unforgettable nights in Seoul that I will treasure always. I love you Dennis Muller and I am so lucky to be locked together with you for the rest of our lives.
