these are beautiful pics for me b/c they were taken in my hometown: Del Mar, California. I love nothing more than blue sky and clouds above my head, and soft sand between my toes. I have had a severe lack of such things in SE Asia, which seems contradictory but it's true. Most of my time here has been in cities and on rivers, but not the beach. So I really miss Cali when I'm freezing my butt off in Viet Nam.

Here are some amazing pics from Viet Nam:

this is in a random alleyway in Ha Noi, so many motorbikes and these random tags on the buildings, I still haven't figured out what they mean...

i love this tower, it was at the Army Museum in Ha Noi. The Vietnamese flag is so simple, strong, and powerful. Perfect for this challenging and challenged country.

This amazing sight is Had Yao beach in Ko Pha-Ngan, Thailand ( the view from my guesthouse restaurant/bar, complete with lounging pillows, super energy leaves, and the most perfect Mojito EVER). The sand and the water was amazing. I had only one day of sunshine and four days of rain/clouds, but playing cards and drinking beers with my girl, Chantelle, and some Aussies, made the days pass by w/o worry. Isn't the water gorgeous? I can't wait to experience the other islands, but not without my Fernando, I promise.

Awesome pics, especially the last one. So, who is the lovely Fernando? :) While I am busy trying to get all my schoolwork done, sometimes I think of you and your amazing adventures and wonder....WTF? Yeah, it's tough sometimes to stay focused and feel fulfilled when I know there is a HUGE world out there to explore. But hey, I've done plenty of exploring and I feel I am doing this now to ensure that I will be in a position to travel the world more when the time is right. Thanks for being an inspirational force in my life! Love ya Lizzy, V
