Gone fishing…

Between my bananas travel schedule, my moving to a new home and some other crazy-town personal stuff that has been happening lately, I’ve got to put Surfer Rosa on hiatus. It makes me sad, but when I con back it’ll be gun blazing, shopping wants galore and (cross your fingers!) a new-to-me platform. xo

No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.

Happy New Year, Thailand. Ok, so I’m a bit behind (but technically the festival lasts 3 days) in wishing you all a very healthy Songrkran (or New Year in Thailand). It is particularly celebrated in the North with a major parade of nearly 50 buddha statutes, along with temple elders, monks, novices and dancers. In the olden times, it was considered a sign of respect to pour water on the shoulder of the young and the feet of the old. The water came from pools under buddha images that had been splashed with water from the people. Once it hits the icon, it is considered holy water. Today, people get wild, using squirt guns, trash buckets and more to soak each other in the street while watching the parade, rocking out to Thai bands or cruising the city in pickups. Short story: What an awesome adventure! Today, I’m off the a marine park in the South.

Sawatdee Kaa from Bangok. After a 24-hour haul I’m in the former kingdom Siam. On today’s docket: Touring the Grand Palace, Temple of the Emerald Buddha and a spa treatment! I’ve got to wear the same dress I did in 2009, since Palace touring dress code is ‘respectfu,l’ which means long pants or dresses that cover the knees and zero shoulder baring.

My only comment: What took the homestore long enough to get a collab with their most fabu family member going?
