Here we are for the 165th week of Travel Photo Thursday. I arrived back in Korea on Tuesday morning at 6:30am. A 3 hour bus trip got me into Daejeon around 10:30am.

Nancie — Wed, 16 Oct 2013 21:35:17 +0000

Nancie — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 02:26:57 +0000

Adorning my apartment wall is a Burmese puppet purchased from a puppeteer who performs in his living room at beautiful Inle Lake, Myanmar. “She” is definitely one of my favorite souvenirs from my travels, and at about $5.00US, one of the least expensive, and well within this traveler’s budget. However, I digress; that’s not the […]
