DOI SUTHEP POSTCARD

Monday, January 28, 2013


I'm embarrassed to admit that I still haven't sorted through my photos from our travels in Myanmar and Thailand last summer. This fellow was taking a break from tossing holy water onto pilgrims at Doi Suthep, a hilltop temple near Chiang Mai. Supposedly it was erected on the spot where a mysterious white elephant lay down and died. The nice thing about sifting through my notes and photos slowly is that it lets me recall more colorful locales as the cold, bleak days drag by in Busan. A description of our life-changing trip to Myanmar is a long time coming.

In the meantime, here's an article I wrote about Austin, Texas—a city that’s racing ahead of America’s recession—for the January issue of Global Traveler magazine.
