I have a boy (I get to call him that forever right?) who’s been travelling on the other side of the world since February. \u00a0Gulp. \u00a0He was mostly in one spot in Vietnam for a few months, teaching English, but has been travelling around for the last month or so. \u00a0A few to go before I see his handsome face in person but it’s fun having a chance to Skype every few weeks. \u00a0Fun to hear adventures and see the odd picture. \u00a0Mostly we have little texting conversations. \u00a0I’ve got him in my phone now as David Vietnam Tan, even when he was in fact David Cambodia Tan and other spots. \u00a0\"photo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gives me a little chuckle every time I think about it, like he’s this whole different person, but in a way he is. \u00a0I’m finding it very cool seeing my\u00a0kid from a distance, setting his own plan and making stuff happen. \u00a0A funny mixture of hearing little bits, wanting to hear everything but not really understanding what he’s describing. \u00a0I’m full of logistical questions and ask how he knows where to go, how he figures out different currencies and language. \u00a0Most of the time it’s all so new to me that I don’t even know what questions to ask. \u00a0But more than the logistics I love hearing of his adventures and picture my charming boy finding his way. \u00a0I’m admiring his confidence. \u00a0I’m eyeing a backpack myself.<\/p>\n

He’s taken pictures of markets I drool over.\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Squid (I think), inky and not.\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He biked around Angkor Wat, which was built starting in 1125. \u00a0I’m not sure how to even make sense of a year that long ago.
\n\"IMG_8856\"<\/a>He’s sent pictures of misty islands,<\/p>\n

chilling reminders,<\/p>\n

tunnels and caves, some still showing\u00a0signs of\u00a0awful times,<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2267\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and in contrast lots of easy sun-filled\u00a0times and beaches. \u00a0I’m thinking that may have been the waking up view. \u00a0Sigh. \u00a0Lucky bum.\"IMG_3041\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He’s sent pictures of little friends (see all three? No wait! Four!)\"IMG_6784\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Missing that guy. \u00a0Loving his adventures. \u00a0Loving him.\"IMG_0154\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
