Seasons At Home

Birthday Boy in Boca… retiree haven, pretty much beautiful weather 300 days/year. Beaches are so clean and the air so fresh!

As we were exiting Ta Prohm, an ancient temple today in Siem Reap. Couldn’t resist taking this child’s photo, it speaks volumes to me. Her Mom was sweeping leaves nearby as her little one played in the forest adjacent. Sometimes when we travel, we’re fixated on rushing from photo op to photo op without really immersing and seeing what’s around us. This trip has taught me to slow down, lookup and coexist. A strange principle that I could really get used to.

What a delight to immerse with Thai families in Udon Thani. They put out the grand welcome mat for my family! We were invited to eat on several occasions with staff and their families, celebrating the New Year and beyond. This would never happen in US… I was smitten by Tiny, their 5 year old daughter. Guess I’m a Gammy everywhere I go. Who knows, my Thai friends may SHOWUP someday to surprise me!
