4/4 Chillin

We all decided to just chill today as the course starts tomorrow and all free time, or any time for that matter, will be gone.  I hung out in the Vietnamese Starbucks reflecting on the last month of crazy wonderful travel.  Still amazed at all the things I saw, experienced, ate, did.  At all the people I met. At all the rickshaws, autorickshaws, cylerickshaws, motorbikes, trains, tiny taxis, buses and camels I used to get around. At all the palaces, dunes, spice jungles, backwaters, forts, rooftops and temples I had visited. At all the rice, daal, chana masala, palak, fish tikka, and cornflakes;) I had eaten.  At all the masala chai that I had drank.  At all the festivals, dances, sacred moments and generosity I had experienced.  Just amazed ... and so grateful;).
