Lost In A Moment …
(Me, walking in off the reef in Rote with my [semi] new 7′ retro single fin)
(Me, trying to figure out how to work that goddamn single-fin in head-high surf)
As you can see, I finally posted a couple of new(ish) photos from my most recent trip to Rote, Indoneisa. These were taken by a friend of mine. Although I've got a few more I also took personally, I've kinda reached the point where I just don't like taking many pictures — I tried, but I finally reverted to my old form (never photographing anything). For any interested friends and family, I'll try to snap out of it the next time I go someplace new.
Nothing much else to report, except that yesterday, there was a coup de tat here in Bangkok, and a massive earthquake down south in Indonesia. However, you wouldn't have even known about ANY of it in my neighborhood of BKK if if wasn't all on the news. Ahh, my first coup — I feel so … 'worldly.'
And finally, I'd really like to thank to a friend of mine for her extreme (and quick) generosity — thanks to her, I had the opportunity to see Al Jarreau and George Benson in concert last nite (and meet them both afterwards). Thank you very much, it was the best live music I've seen out in Asia in quite a long, long time, and all the artists were extremely nice and magnanimous, as well.
Okay, I'm in the midst of planning out my next move — depending on the rains and flooding up in the north, I may hopefully head to Laos later this week for some relaxation and white water rafting. I'll keep eveyone apprized.
