Postcard from Gaza II: First Pictures

My girlfriend is currently volunteering in Gaza. I asked her to send me the odd email with her observations as a way to share an on-the-ground view of what life is like in this embattled place. This is the first set of photos she’s sent from there.

Crossing into Gaza.

The wall walling in the West Bank from Jerusalem.

A simple street door in Gaza.

One of the young patients being attended to by the visiting medical team.

A local food vendor.

All photos by Bob Haynes.

More posts on this volunteer effort are cross-posted here with additional information about the group and their work.

Chu Chi Tunnels Saigon Vietnam

BigB climbing into the Chu Chi Tunnels outside Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. These tunnels were a vital part of the Viet Cong’s strategy during the Vietnam War.

And just about disappearing into the tunnel.

Inside the tunnels showing how small these spaces are – even for a 10-year-old boy who stands at about 5′ tall.

Evening in Paros

6 Replies

After I wrote my post about traveling to Greece in 2012 earlier this week, I realized that I really don’t have very many pictures of Paros, my favorite corner of Greece on this blog. So here you go: eye candy for you. Hopefully these images will give you a sense of why I love the place so much.

Young Monks in Luang Prabang Laos

2 Replies

We walked along the river in peaceful Luang Prabang, the old capital of Laos. It was a peaceful amble, not even a stroll. There was a cool breeze coming off the river and the punters at the riverside cafes were quietly sipping their tea or afternoon cocktails. We turned a corner and above our heads, like birds chattering in the trees, we heard the giddy laughter of this group of young monks perfectly camouflaged between the yellow parapets, terracotta pots and flame-colored zinnias.

Crossing The Mekong From Thailand To Laos

8 Replies

In Chiang Khong, Thailand, open boats ply the broad, muddy, mighty Mekong all day ferrying people from Thailand to Laos and back again. When we arrived we were winging it with respect to knowing anything about the border crossing, passport control and even how much the boat across would cost. BigB got a little frustrated waiting for us to find out this latter and went off to find out for himself. It’s good to be 10 and independent – even if you don’t speak the language

We miss you Bangkok

4 Replies

We’ve been snowbound in Seattle this week. There’s been snow, sleet, rain, a very unusual ice-storm and general weather mayhem. All of which led me to think about where we were a year ago: in a warmer, gentler Bangkok. Here’s BigB and I taking a moment out of a busy day sightseeing exploring the many temples in Bangkok.
