Follow this midlife mess in motion on a 3 month journey to the opposite side of the world where I plan to sweep out the brain closet and unpack the shenanigans of my inner child. God I hope they have coffee.

We stop take photo, so I took photo.On the edge of tourist civilizationstones in the marshCemetery, or something like it.CemeteryI would not bury dead this close to a river, but to each his ownshrineStarting to think this is one long graveyardBut wait, there’s more…Certainly breaks up the skyline.Ah, a hill without man made stonesboat trafficSheer faceAnnoyed so many boats are around, but they do add a color pop to picturesNote the monuments at the top. I’m going up there… I think.Our first caveA perfectly aligned photo op and the bird turns around. So, here’s a birds butt.rice fieldsThey see a camera, they pose.random rest stopI can barely walk and they are leisurely rowing boats with their bare feet.a wall for some reasonanother cavethis one has teethThe mountains are tall here.Yet another cavethe caves look so innocent from a distancelooks empty and innocent enoughrowing through the caves. Probably thinking about what to make for dinner.Sure hope this mountain has a good foundation.Another caverandom scenerymore random scenerylooks like a plow or something. Could be a motorized catapult.random shrinevery tall and slantyless slanty. I suppose I was slanty.how trees grow on this stuff is beyond me.Yet another picture of a rock. This one has clouds.random shrine, but we’ve seen this one. Must be on the way back.boat traffic in rice field. sigh.Vietnamese Scarecrow.
