{Longji Rice Terraces AKA Dragon Back Terraces}

Day 5

Guangxi, China

The rice terraces are normally on one's bucket list when they visit a country such as China or Indonesia.

I'm not one to pass up such a trip!

The world in the palm of Talon's hand.

You can hike up the left side (opposite) and go all the way around the entire village to end up where this picture was taken. I'd say an hour or two around the ridge. (depends on amount of people/groups are there) There are also many other paths that will take you to other villages in the mountains & paths that lead up to the top ridge and back down.

Longji mountain village. I've stayed 4 times and loved it each time.

 MS stayed in this village on multiple occasions. I loved it so. This occasion we were just on a day trip, taking others to the terraces. The hotel I stayed in had great wifi in the lobby area & the rooms were just too cute. Talon was excited to find French Fries of all things.

I told him he better not be using those binoculars to look into any windows! 

Talon was gifted binoculars before we headed on our trip to China. I'm so glad he found an occasion to use them.

However, taking the bus from the bottom up and down is the scariest thing I have ever done. It may have just been a bus ride but it was seriously the most scared I've ever been in my life! My poor heart each time MS went up and down! The drivers whipped around corners with just the beep of a horn warning drives that maybe on the other side of the stone that they were coming. The drop if there was a hit is one that we may not survive.

It is hard to describe but trust me. It is worse then a roller coaster!

Have you been anywhere on your Bucket List?

Mad Imagery ---> Day 4

Reading & hot tea in my tribal mug after a long day. Granny Mad Scientist has been in the hospital for the past two nights. Congestive Heart Failure is what is being whispered.

She is my only grandparent since i was one (30+ now) & I was just filled with grief. I took my heavy heart and hide in the bathroom and cried like a big ol' baby. She just had a heart surgery a few months ago & I was hoping for some more juice.

Trying to battle my weariness with some fantasy and citrus.

Hugs to everyone today!

{Karbi, Thailand}
Day 3

This paradise can be found near Krabi, Thailand.
I'm laying in the hammock reading Shantaram.
(part is showing in the bottom corner) 
This is the sort of paradise you mourn for once you leave.
MS is mourning.

Yet, smiling.
I love sharing my travels.

MS cannot take credit for finding this spot. 
We signed up for a day tour consisting of sea kayaking & swimming. 
We had already put in a full morning of kayaking through canyons and mangroves. We stopped for lunch, ocean side. After, filling out bellies with some rather good affair most people in the group headed off to the beach. MS promptly laid in a green hammock and opened Shantaram to the sounds of waves on the shore and the feel of the warm sun as I swayed in the light breeze. 

Mourning...

Today Mad Scientist could be found bustling through the deepest corners of Pintrest. Oh my dears, there are so many lovely images of various abandoned places to be had.

Decay is sad, yet, oddly breathtaking.

{SiSaket Aquarium, Thailand}
Day 2

On many occasions MS found herself at the local aquarium. Entertaining a 12 year old is a bit different then entertaining oneself. It was a bit of a walk outside of the city but it was well worth it. The SiSaKet aquarium is small but nice. Not to mention cheap, costing us about 1 USD each to spend an afternoon in AC staring at some pretty dazzling fish. 

MS was pleasantly surprised to find out there was even an aquarium in SiSaKet. Things have changed and developed so much over the years from when I last lived there from 1998-1999. 

Here MS was lucky enough to catch the Trigger fish smiling!
