Brian Carr's 1978 Korean Tour

I tried google maps and created a link pointing out the locations mentioned here. If you just click on the link you will only see the pins, then you have to click on satellite in the upper right corner. Then you can zoom in and out and really explore. It is fun, try it at google.maps. It seems they don't seem to have a street map of Daegu, Korea. Go figure. They need to get right on that....

The trip starts in Washington, DC thru Dallas and LA.
Then we visited Hawaii.
And arrived in Korea where I was stationed at Camp Walker.
We took pictures around Daegu, Korea.
We visited the zoo and there are pictures of our house.
We finally climbed Ap San (the mountain).
We visited the Korean Folk Village.
We also visited someBuddhist temples.
And visited Cheju Doh, a Korean resort island.
We visited Seoul two times.
And spent a week visiting Taiwan.
Then we visited the Phillipines..
On our return trip we visited Japan..
And then were off to Hong Kong..
We were really impressed with Thailand..
Then we were off to New Delhi, India..
From there we changed plains in the United Arab Emirates heading to Jordon and then Israel.
Next we went to Istanbul, Turkey and then Rome, Italy.
In Rome, we visited the Vatican.
Our next stop was Venice, Italy.
And then we were off to Lucerne, Switzerland..
We went straight through France and then visited England and back to the U.S..

This series is now complete and I am working on other old pictures.

I graduated from West Point in 1975 and my first assignment was to go to M.I.T. for two years. I got my Master's in Computer Science in 1977 and then had to take a regular military assignment. I chose an assignment in Korea as the country was interesting and it was a short tour, only one year.... We went by way of Hawaii and returned the other way making it an extensive 'round the world tour' starting and ending in Washington, D.C..
