Leaf: Beautiful blue window. (Varanasi, India)
Rae: The other morning Leafy made this salad for breakfast and ate the whole thing. Tomatoes, carrots, bits of parmesan cheese and coriander (cilantro). Have you ever? This boy. (Pai, Thailand)
Leaf: Our neighbours were slowly, steadily, stealthily and frustratingly stealing all our green mangoes, so today we took drastic action and collected the rest. We were able to give about 7 kilo's away to our friends and household so they can all make green mango pickle. We kept a few to add to our dahl. I won't make mango pickle this year. (Varanasi, India)
Rae: A week of road work means a lot of entertainment, not just for my boys, but for all the neighbors who stand and watch. Also, the digger had a Che Guevara sticker on the back. (Pai, Thailand)

Rae: Even in this dry time, the flowering trees are blooming. Some of the flowers are so beautiful, and they look like fire. (Pai, Thailand)
Leaf: I couldn't resist stopping and buying some freshly roasted Lai (puffed rice). It's nice with fresh coriander, chopped tomato, lime and onions and spicy peanuts. (Varanasi, India)
Rae: While Chinua was in the hospital, these men came over to build a bamboo wall to make a little bedroom for Kai. They finished in a day. A day! (Pai, Thailand)
Leaf: Meethi vani teri. Your sweet words. Amrita vani teri. Your immortal words. Pawaana vain teri. Your holy words. (Varanasi, India)
Rae: Chinua spent the week in this bed. We're so glad that he's home now! (Pai, Thailand)
Leaf: My gorgeous husband skating in our courtyard under the mango tree. (Varanasi, India)
