Whiskers on kittens

March 9, 2010

So maybe instead of writing the all-encompassing post, because that really is an impossible task, I’ll start with some of the things that I’m missing right now (including toothpicks, and throwing rubbish on the ground). And because wordpress murders the quality of the pics, you can see them here too.

I miss being able to get great coffee anywhere. And by anywhere, I mean anywhere.

Boat coffee at the Cần Thơ floating markets

I miss the autonomous kids.

A boy and his dog

And the waving kids.

Bicycles and bridge

I miss finding random altars.

Happy belly god

And spotting unexpected TVs.

Houseboat TV

I miss family time.

When dad's not fishing

And dinner time (also known as old ladies chasing kids around with a loaded spoon).

Time for a feed

I really, really miss road trips. And a road life not dominated by the tyranny of cars.

Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies

I miss people’s uncomplaining and unyielding resilience.

Highway to Ninh Binh after the storm

And I miss the beauty. I miss it a lot.

    see those pictures makes me miss those things too. To make up for it I’m going to go throw some rubbish on an anonymous kid and then wave.

    And warm woolen mittens… Once again, a unique combination of words and pictures so poignant it keeps this reader coming back for more. I, too, do hope you’ll keep up the blogging, be it here or at a different venue.

    i threw a branch off a bike path today. a water bottle was attached and i didn’t take it off and throw it in the trash can. does that count?
