We are well into our third month of travel and even though I love rice and the beach sometimes I just need to have a piece of home. Well, I was able to get a few of my needs satisfied in the past few days.
fix #1: Chocolate and 80's music
In Hoi An we had the best chocolate cake I have had since I can remember with espresso and wonderful 80's pop music playing to make the ambiance just right.
fix #2: Pottery
In Hoi An a few kilometers outside of town we found a family of woodfire potters. Just like me! We spent the afternoon with them helping out as I tried to get them to make me their 11 child. It made me happy to have my hands in clay and throw a few bowls, even if I am rusty.
fix #3: Fixed Gear Bikes
In Hue a cyclo drive was chasing after Gillian and I so he could give us a ride and make some money, we finally turned the chase around on him and made him let us ride the bike while he sat in the seat. The best part was that it was a fixed gear bike! Luckily we did not die.
Sometimes you just need a fix.
