    Begrudginly wearing pants again

    November 17, 2018 in the United States ⋅ 🌫 25 °F

    Deb picked us up and we were shocked back into reality with sub-30 degree weather. I haven’t worn pants in 3 and half weeks, so it was a bit of an adjustment.

    I’m glad to be home and when I think of this trip and five different countries, it’s tough to limit the top ten to just top 10, but here we go:

    10. Crawling around the Cu Chi tunnels.
    9. Practicing English with a young boy in Vietnam, who thanked me with tiny origami figures.
    8. Taking a leap from a tree limb into a pool at Kuangsi Falls.
    7. Walking around Bayon temple with Buddhas staring down from every direction.
    6. Kayaking among the giant limestone monoliths in Halong Bay.
    5. Giggling like a junior high girl, while our guide said Pusi 10 times really slowly.
    4. Miscalculating the exchange rate in Bangkok and trying to withdrawn $10,000, only being stopped by the limit on the machine.
    3. Taking a balloon flight over Myanmar.
    2. Somehow managing to eat a grasshopper and try weasel poo coffee.
    1. Taking a leap of faith and literally walking into Vietnamese traffic with Kim, Russ, and Carolyn.
