Back in July 2022, me and two of my boys from the army, Jo-Un and Donghwan, decided to bike the official Youngsang River and Sumjin River Bike trail. It was our third long bike trip (100+ km) together in Korea (we've done Incheon to Busan and Seoul to Chuncheon). Our entire trip took 3 nights and 4 days starting with our late bus ride from Seoul Nambu Bus Terminal (4 hours) down to Mokpo in South Jeolla Province and staying an extra night in Gwangyang to spend some time down in the South. But the actual biking was only 1 night and 2 days. We biked around 130+ km per day, making it to our final destination Gwangyang a little shy of 300 km. We finished off by chilling in Yeosu to enjoy the summer beach.

You can see me in the bottom left corner, standing next to my Czech boy, Jan.

I'm in the back in this one as well, in front of Christopher.

Everyone's jaw dropped when we got to the reception. The tapas were out of this world. I think I went up to waiters for food... Oops...

Our Chiang Mai group was sad that we didn't get assigned to Decatur. As I'm writing this, I realize that these were all the cities the two have traveled to.
Look at Jan just shoving bubbles in Kieran's face. Boy even took a extra step down to do so.
My only sober moment during the wedding. Look how nice I look meeting Chiara's grandmother. I told her how I remembered her lemon tree in her backyard and the limoncello I got to try when I visited Latina back in 2019.
I haven't seen or talked to Devon in ages. It was so nice seeing her. I think it was exactly a decade since I've seen her in Decatur.
Enjoying too much of that groom's cocktail. Not going to lie, I liked Kieran's drink better. Kaleigh does not approve these goofballs. The three of us having the time of our lives.
Look at Massimo and Kieran go. The boy in the bottom right corner is crazy. He thinks he's at a club, not at a wedding reception. But Jacob and Kieran aren't that different either. I remember talking to the Italian guy with the tie strapped to his head after our pool "incident".
