Leaf: Buffalo washing in the afternoon light in the Ganges River. (Varanasi, India)
Rae: I've had a terrible flu but I roused myself and went to my friend's new restaurant today, with four of my kids. I love her furniture and floors. (Pai, Thailand)
Leaf: This is one of the walls in the River Ashram meditation room. (Varanasi, India)
Rae: A table full of very yummy things at the market. I bought passionfruit concentrate and avocados, since we already had mangosteens at home. (Pai, Thailand)
Leaf: I was sorting through my trunk today and found this; one of the sweetest birthday presents ever, from your beautiful daughter, all of which she found in my garden! (Varanasi, India)
Rae: Miriam playing peek-a-boo with Isaac, who was running around with a swaddling sheet over his head. He's a delight every day. (Pai, Thailand)
Leaf: I met this guy whilst drinking a fresh sweet lime juice on the side of the road. I love Indian marching bands! (Varanasi, India)
Rae: I had a little porch time with a cup of chai and my journal today. This entry was from a few days ago, but it caught my eye. A bit of a paraphrase because the actual quote says "shall" be well. Nonetheless, calming to the soul. (Pai, Thailand)
Leaf: I went on another date with my dear hubby (there's so much to talk about lately). This is us on the scooter with the guy ahead of us looking like he's ready to taken on the world. Yikes! (Varanasi, India)
Rae: In nearly every Thai restaurant you will find this little tray of goodies: dried chilli, chilli in vinegar, sugar, and a different kind of chilli in vinegar. (Pai, Thailand)
Leaf: A 'thing-a-ma-jig' cart but with all girly things. These are my neighbours swooning over bindis and bangles. (Varanasi, India)
Rae: Wrapping ceramic cups for tea at the meditation space. I'm in love with these cups! (Mae Hee, Thailand)
Leaf: Bitter gourd; it's one of those vegetables that people either love or hate. I only love it when I'm eating it with Govinda Baba. (Varanasi, India)
Rae: Solo considers his strategy before moving in for the kill in a little afternoon game of Memory. He's kind of awesome at it. (Pai, Thailand)
