Culture. Shock.

After a week in Khlong Lodt village, Trat Province Thailand, the wee family flew to L.A. Yes, from my husband's dusty, little Thai village right smack dab into one of the biggest cities in the USA. (What was I thinking?) Culture. shock.


While my feeble brain continues to chip away at the "where have we landed?" question, I thought I could appease you with this little photo essay. An essay on plumbing, or should I say water. My mother-in-law's and my brother's, as we have now crossed the country for a rest in Florida, the land of hot-AND-cold-RUNNING (and window screens, mattresses, sheets, flush toilets, air conditioning, dish washers, garbage disposals, dish tv, wireless internet, alarm systems, ice makers, microwaves... oh, you get the point).


I'll miss dipping water out of the clay pots, but boy, that hot shower feels nice!

glad you arrived safely. we've been missing you here, even after such a short time. it was SO WONDERFUL to see you and your family after so long! you're so brave to be such a nomad. it's inspiring to me, helping me to detach from the things, things, things, things and to focus on the moments and memories.
thanks for your visit.
