Ah Paris
Hi Becky, I am taking a "senior" class at UT called the evolution of Modern Art. Several weeks ago the lecture was about Fauvism in France with Matisse, Rodin and Derain. While sitting in class I decided to repair our bedroom with the color of Matisse. I hope the Renior exhibit is still in Paris. When we were there in the summer Bill and I went to see it. Wonderful. Enjoy the city of lights. My favorite city. Darlene

Hello Rebbeca, Lovely pictures you have posted. The Orangerie was a delight that I was almost disappointed in. After paying the 12 euro entry fee and gazing on the water lillies for about 15 minutes I thought well that was nice but really a rip off for a one trick pony. As I was heading toward the exit I saw the small sign that lead to the basement and seeking a restroom went down stairs. A lucky event spured by a full bladder. The collection was throughly enjoyable and I almost missed it.

I miss you guys! This was so fun to read. Isn't running in Paris is the best - you're distracted from your misery by all the beauty and history around you.

Ooooh....duck
I had that in Foggy Bottom at some Chinese restaurant....I was so excited that I was getting 'peking duck' something I'd always heard about. I agree - too greasy, you treat it like a taco and it's not all that good. I'd rather Lauriol Plaza Fajita tacos. Mmmmm. Enjoyed hearing the review though.

What a Way To Go!!
Sounds like you had a blast in Hong Kong. What an exciting send-off. It is great to have such good friends spread out around the globe. Hope you can return the favor for Travis one day. Can't wait to see all of your pictures. See you Monday. Love Mom

wow, what an adventure!
Hi Rebecca, thanks for sharing your journey with us here! The advice you give is definitely helpful for peeps like me who hope to travel through Southeast Asia as well. Sorry to hear you got sick, but I am glad you are getting along better now. I sure hope that you will still continue on without losing site of what you intended on for your 5 month journey. I will sure to be coming back to read. Oh yes, and how is your budget coming? Is $30/day good to get you through the day?

Haven't been able to identify the red and white flower at the top- the one that looks like velcro or maybe corn on the cob?...But I did find out that the one you labeled "flowers?" is a pitcher plant, a carnivorous plant (eats insects, not you), but only after asking a friend who's something of an expert in that field. Anyhow, it looks nice and healthy, and so do you. You must be feeling better!

Prices
Prices are dirt cheap compared to anything you would find in the States! You can get gorgeous, huge flower arrangements for a few dollars.

Hi Becky - I think flower market would obviously be a favorite out of those! How are the prices? After conversion, do you feel like the prices are US equivalent for the quality? Not sure how the bunny market is in Austin but how about the flowers?

Junky Boat
Yeah, it was kind of disappointing, but I found out there's only one real historic junk left in Hong Kong, called the Duk Ling. Weather pending, I might try to take a cruise on it, but it has been pouring cats and dogs. Jill said the kids got their postcard, (but that was from Hong Kong, and about a week or so earlier), hope yours doesn't dawdle too long!

And after I told everybody...
...you were going out for a party on a genuine Chinese junk! Oh, well, at least it looks like you weren't riding around on some firetrap garbage scow. Still waiting for that first postcard!

Fair play to you
Hi, I was just looking through blogs to try and get some tips for halong bay cruises when i happened across your blog. i am travelling with my husband and we have been away from home for 6 months so far, i hust wanted to say fair play to you doing all this on your own, it can be very intimidating when you are with someone let alone when you are on your own. reading your blog has also made me appreciate having someone to share this with. I hope that your feeling better soon and i have the ultimate admiration for what you are doing, i know it might not feel like it at the moment but there will be many many positive things to come out of your experiences. good luck and don't let them grind you down a fellow traveller

Isn't Skype Wonderful?
Just wanted to say how great it was to actually see you again on Skype and be able to count all the fingers and toes. It was also very encouraging to hear that you are thinking about continuing your adventure. While adventures are exciting and memorable, thay are also exhausting. Good idea to recharge your batteries. It will be fun to hear about your Peking Duck dinner on Friday night. Hopefully they will not serve it with the feet and head like in the Christmas movie "Christmas Story" with Ralphie and his family. Ha Ha. Enjoy July 4th with Travis and his buddies. However with the quantity of alcohol that he has ordered, you may need to take some notes so you can report on your blog. Have Fun, Relax, and Celebrate. Love Mom

The OK should look correct to someone looking at it while it is on your eye. So, it will look backwards on the side that goes against your eye.
