Wats and Love

In case anybody's reading this, I thought I would post something because I have not done so for awhile. Today I am heading farther north with my friend Rachel, from Washington DC (soon to be my new home since I got into Georgetown's school of Public Policy!!!! YAY!!! how did that happen? I'm excited!). We are planning to cross the Thai border into Laos. Julie Lockman from Brooklyn first told me about this ride in which you pick between the slow boat across the Mekong River, which takes two days, and the fast boat where you have to wear a helmet and look down the whole time or you'll get whiplash. I picked the former option since I always appreciate a good "journey" even if the ride is exhausting. And I am already exhausted. As the elusive title of this posting implies (to me at least) I have been praying at many buddhist temples (called wats) and learning about love. Write me an email if you're interested in learning more and I'll post more about Laos when I come back!!!
