“And Search For Her As For Hidden Treasures”
Reflections In Da Nang I once spent many months in captivity reading every object that contained letters. Discarded bottles, faded papers, the rusted signs of commands that dotted the landscape. Language gives us meaning and those that desire understanding crave it.… continue reading Read More

I’ve spent much of the past week working on a new project. Building travel guides piece by piece. First for Atlanta and then for the rest of the world. I expect it to be the beginning of another chapter in exploration and chronicles of my life.… continue reading

Before we begin, I must make a few confessions. This morning’s early events are a bit foggy. For you see, yesterday ended after Imperial beach, but I can’t seem to remember all of the evening. It began at Urban Leaf and ended when I woke up.… continue reading

As I’ve discussed previously the heat is blistering here. In Southeast Asia one of the many beautiful things that is either directly or indirectly caused by an attempt to avoid the sun are night markets, and Vietnam boasts some of the best.… continue reading

After a couple of intense days of exploration and adventure it was time to slow things down. We were, after all, in paradise and it seemed a waste to rush it all away.

I wrote in my earlier entry about the food and what I had discovered. What I wrote was only part of the picture. It’s a far more complicated and layered reality than I had originally expected.

This conversation had to happen, so pull up your chair and listen closely. We’ll probably move around a lot, so try to stay with me. Vietnam is a land not for the squeamish. If sanitation is your thing, then for an entry visa, you need not apply.… continue reading
