Intermission

Farewell little town! Goodbye students! It's been great, but my grades are all in, I'm done teaching summer school, and I've got a bit of exploring to do. I'm shedding my layers of business casual and striking out.



Begin my 58 days as a backpacking nomad. The clothes inside my approximately one million pound backpack must see me through the southeast Asian hot season, the himalayas, beaches, volunteering and two weeks of Fulbright seminars in Bangkok. I'm about to spend the next two months of my life in a perpetual state of being awkwardly attired. Oh, and, I'll make sure to upload the pictures of my soon-to-be-acquired henna and dreadlocks as soon as I can.

First stop: Chiang Mai for our workshop. Many thanks to the kind people who have supported our project!

Yours,
R

P.S. I just had this incredible epiphany about restructuring my blog into a Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego format for the next two months. Would that inspire you to finally comment? At least to inform me that I'm not as clever as I think?

I know, I know. Every time I make a blog post and you are the only one to comment, it makes us both look a little less cool. Or at least, it would, if anyone was paying attention.

Love you!

i read this too, but feel awkward commenting when we've so many other means of communicating with each other. but then again, we don't really use those, do we? maybe we should just talk more in general...

anyway, good luck on the travels and i'll see you soon-ish!

Your Mom is smiling at your "on the road" attire and accoutrements.
She's enjoying your adventures vicariously - and the photos help!!
