Traveling Terry's Guestbook

What a wonderful story!
I am always amazed at the women I meet around the world - even those countries I think are male dominated - who are quite happily unmarried.

Great market!
These stepped tiers do look like a ziggurat, Lovely market there, seeming both modern and ancient. Your pants look like ones from Ecuador, but sold in Bolivia and here in Peru to tourists. I used to wear them, many years and pounds ago, and loved their airy feeling--you can move any which way.

Show us the pantaloons!
Ok, you can't get away with posting this without showing us a picture of the pantaloons, preferably being modeled. I may have to have you get a pair for me!

So wise!
Really, it's so wise of you to trust the bus/moto/whatever drivers. I think there's nothing we can do anyway, and they probably don't want to die, so best to just relax and trust that all will work out. I love your collection of lines from the film, "Life is just like eating sweet potatoes. You never know when you fart." Isn't that just the truth. And regarding the sweet lady that lowers the floor of your room, it's so interesting that speaking the truth about we who are--perhaps a little old or a little fat (me, not you) is something that other cultures see as simple truths, rather than our silly western ways of thinking these offensive. So much to learn from others. I love your easy-going way of doing so.

I only worry about...
the situation where an incumbent who loses then trains the successor, but deliberately does a poor job of training so the successor isn't qualified to fill the position, letting the incumbent stay in the position. I hope it works out! At least the outcome of elections at the local level elections is not predetermined!

Cambodian food
Hi Terry I really enjoyed this blog. The food sounds amazing! I look forward to following your future adventures. :) Cheers Ren

Blogger of the Week
Hello Theresa, I just wanted to let you know that I think that your writing is beautiful; I nominated you for blogger of the week. This is what I said when I nominated you: "I would like to nominate Theresa Nichols for her beautiful prose, sophisticated vocabulary, and general lovely approach to writing. Her 11/23/2014 entry about a funeral for a 12-year-old girl is not to be missed." Keep up the sensitive approach to travel, photography and writing! Best, Monique

Your sequined dress...
is definitely missing. I have one in my closet that would have been perfect for this event...I will fit you perfectly! I will try to get it to you one day for future travels! Bobbing and snaking sound fun.

thanks terry
Terry that's amazing experience..i wish i could be there soon..:)

Great Pictures & Story to go with them
Very nice images but if I may, you need to include objects and/or people to give some idea or reference for the size of the center of interest. It is something I tell my students to do with their photos.

four legs
Reminds me of an old Chinese say that goes something like this -- If it has four legs and it's not a table, we eat it!
