    What an amazing time in Thailand. Glad you were able to see it. I’m glad your visa was straightened out. Hope your studies are going well. Everyone is missing you not being home for Christmas. The pictures are great. Stay well. Study hard. Haven’t had a chance to read the students’ poetry yet. Merry Christmas again. Hope it turns out to be a good day for you. love Linda n Conrad

      Merry Christmas, Linda and family! I’ll be having a Mexican Christmas dinner with fellow Fulbrighters. As much as we love the food here, we’re all missing Mexican food!

    Gosh…even when you hit a speed bump, you have the King Midas way of turning it into an adventure in your journey. What amazing pictures of those in mourning, and capturing the spirit of how their monarch is being honored over the course of the year. Happy Holidays to you Tim and a prosperous, adventurous new year! Hugs, Cindy

    Being flexible in a journey is important, but it is astonishing that you did this so routinely! An amazing side trip journey for you! Merry Christmas!

      Thanks, Sharon. I think I learned a little bit about flexibility in Brazil! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

    A historical time to be in Thailand – glad you had a visa mishap. It turned out to be a great adventure. Have a great holiday and enjoy your travels – we will both be finished soon and look back on this time with great fondness and sadness that it was too short.

      Just two weeks left. It’s hard to believe. Seems like yesterday we were meeting in Washington and had so many questions.

      Yes, it’s like the end of the school year for me – so much to do and deadlines fast approaching. I am taking a few days over New Year’s for an adventurous photo tour in the mountains. I’ll be roughing it, sleeping on buses, riding on motorbikes. There will be many photos and stories to share.
