What a great capture! Love the movement on the water almost as much as their faces!

Thanks Janice! I am not sure if it is technically the best photo but it definitely evokes a mood.

These are gorgeous Jonathan! My favorite is, by far, the blue. I also love that you walked out into the water to get it. Good luck!

Wow! I love your collection. The red is particularly striking. Excellent walk of shame.

No, not on this day. I have since figured out where they come from. This seems like a very well regarded group and I am going to go for it one day though.

The whole thing was kind of surreal. This place never ceases to amaze me!

What a great, unexpected find...the elephants I mean, not the bikinis ;)

Thanks Maria. Angkor Wat is just a small part of the Angkor Complex. More to follow.

Thanks Janice, Just don't stay in the shower so long that your toes get all pruney.

Oh my stars. I am going to have so much more awareness in my shower today. Aim for calmness, clarity and purity. Repeat. Great photo.

And you've captured the moment very well.

Wow! Amazing photos. Your post will be very useful to me in the next trip to Thailand. Thanks for sharing with us and love to hear more.

This is pretty cool! Thailand seems surprising in so many ways. Cannot wait to visit soon!

Re: Top 5 Observations from My Two Years of Minimalist Travel

Very true. I agree with all of these. I definitely sacrifice comfort when I travel. I always find that the cheaper places are the most interesting and sociable, and it's also best to save your money for the experiences!

I love this post, Jonathan. You've eloquently managed to put into words many of the things I consider to be my truth as well. And I'd never really cogitated upon the need to sacrifice comfort in order to get a more genuine experience but I think you're right there as well. People ask me how I manage to meet so many locals and have so many "crazy" experiences when I travel because they've never had that opportunity, but in the meantime, they're staying in four-star hotels. I like to do that too, sometimes. But not all the time; not even most of the time. It's way too sterile.

I have always been really freaked out by puppets. Team America haunts me to this very day, but the idea of addressing educational disadvantage through a project like this is wonderful! I would put aside my illogical puppet issues to see this!

Sorry I forgot to mention, I live in Canada, just north of Toronto. Thanks will look into it.

Hi Christine,

Sorry to hear of your loss. Ariel does sound like an amazing person.

Getting to Tuxtla (TGZ) airport from the United States is pretty straight forward. From there you can take an cab ride or get the bus to San Cristobal de las Casas. YOu can base from there and get another cab to El Romerillo for Día de los Muertos. It is a very moving event.
