Cooling off


I wasn't hot for the first time last evening when I got caught in a monsoon rain. We were along the Mekong River in hopes of spotting rare white dolphins. Every scene is amazing to me. Oxen working the fields, people bent over planting rice, houses on stilts, papaya trees, babies swinging in hammocks, mini-horse drawn carts.

So is this a compliment? "You're so beautiful for being so old.""
