The last 3 weeks of pictures

Okay, so it has taken a little time getting use to being in Seattle. Trying to figure out where I fit in has been hard, but I figured it out - I don't fit in, I'm just visiting. I'm slowly but surely starting to get together with people. The first few days were a little overwhelming with the idea of seeing people. I'm starting my search for tickets to Europe; it looks like I will be leaving at the end of April to meet up with Katie. In the mean time I am kicking back and maybe cleaning house while I am in town. If you want to get together while I'm in Seattle please give me a call or email me. Here are a few pictures from the last three weeks of my trip with my parents. The whole time I was looking for our next “holiday card” picture... here are a few of the contenders.

Halong Bay - This was as nice as it got (weather wise). Our first day was very mystical with fog. 

The bummer part of Halong Bay was how nasty the water was. Anyone want to go swimming?

The family!

Hoi An - this was just about the only site seeing we did... we did a lot of shopping.

The family in Hue.

Liz and Terry's first Tuk-tuk ride in Phnom Penh.

Yes, that is a baby and a monkey sleeping on the woman's lap. This woman was begging at a Wat Phnom in Phnom Penh. 

Terry tried to ask the monk to take a picture of the three of us but the monk thought we wanted a picture with him. Finally after a little hand signaling we got both. 

Angkor Wat! This was my second time. I learned a lot the second time around - we had a nice tour guide. 

My favorite is still (this one) Bayon. 

Ta Promh - the tomb raider one... 

Sunrise! 

The names of everything on the second day slip my mind... getting up at 4:40am wasn't great for site seeing the rest of the morning. So this is... family at another old Wat... 

I got sick of just smiling for pictures. 

Vera (social worker), Liz, Terry, and Tipporn (nurse). These were our wonderful tour guides in Bangkok. Vera and Tripporn came to Seattle over the summer to look at hospitals and met Liz. They were so happy with their trip to Seattle that they showed us a very good time. 

 

That's it for SE Asia right now... I might continue the blog for Europe - I will let you know via email. Thanks for following me on my adventures - it was nice to know that people were interested in where I was and what I was doing!
