Praise God, the house is rented! Thank you very much to my dear friends who helped get it back in order and to my amazing Mother for making it possible. I couldn't have done it without you!

What DID Rhys eat, anyway?
A friend of mine sent me an e-mail after my last Food List asking what in the world it was that I ate before I started this trip. I guess it's time to get everyone up to speed on what exactly “Rhys is a picky eater” meant. Mom tells me that there was a long … Continue reading What DID Rhys eat, anyway?
Right Now
I am sitting in a small cafe at my Inn on Ko Samui. I am drinking the last of a cup of hot breakfast tea, no sugar, no milk. If I stop and listen, I can hear a wide variety of birds and insects proclaiming their existence to the world. I can hear water splashing … Continue reading Right Now

I quite enjoyed it, but what's not to love? 8/5 - Kale … Continue reading Rhys’ New Foods List – August 09
One Night in Bangkok
Well, we've been here TWO nights now, but how could I resist? Our flight from Kuala Lumpur was unremarkable. However, we did get to board from the tarmac directly and up a flight of mobile stairs. First time for me. I felt like the President, but I had no one to turn and wave to. … Continue reading One Night in Bangkok
Bangkok Successful
We made it to Bangkok! An update to follow in a day or two - just a quick note so our mothers won't worry 🙂
Malaysia – Impressions and Thoughts
So I'm sitting in the living room at our guesthouse in Kuala Lumpur, unable to sleep and excited about our flight this afternoon into Thailand. I figure this is as good a time as any to think about the last month+ and what my time in Malaysia has revealed. 1. Safe - The first thing … Continue reading Malaysia – Impressions and Thoughts
