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. All photos by Bob Haynes. More posts on Read the Rest…

Giving Alms in Phnom Penh
The day after we visited the Killing Fields memorial and Tuol Seng, this young monk called by our hostel as we were having breakfast. Unprompted, BigB jumped from his seat to give alms and say a prayer. I think it was his way of responding to what he’d seen the day before. Head on over Read the Rest…

Crossing The Mekong From Thailand To Laos
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 Read the Rest…
We miss you Bangkok
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 Read the Rest…
