"...i don't think i expected to be back in asia so soon, but here i find myself, less than one year after arriving in bali; riding a scooter down the left side of the road, marveling at the beauty and insanity and smelling the good bad smells of southeast asia.
thailand is magnificent. i haven't even scratched the surface and i'm already enchanted. the markets and monks and spirit houses and the glorious food and the ladyboys and the wots and the lanterns and the rooftops and the massages and the mission we're on all blend together to create a most intoxicating atmosphere.
one of my favorite things about this place has to be the graceful formality fo the palms pressed in prayer and the respectful bowing of the head, a movement that every thai makes in greeting, in thanks and in observance of your similar sentiments. everywhere you go all this palm pressing and bowing - there is something so delightful about it you can't help but be effected and elevated.
no wonder they call it the land of smiles.
today russ and eugene and i are going on a house finding mission. i can't wait to scooter around with my camera, my love and my new friend in search of our new home in this most magical kingdom..."
