You know what a huge fan I am of you...Hi Francine,<br /><br />You know what a huge fan I am of your travel posts and the fact that you go to places in the world that most people would not venture. It is a reflection of your curiosity and open mind. As always your travel photos always transport me. The photo that really seemed magical to me was the photo you have of Shwedagon Pagoda. Your thoughts on travel are always well thought out and poignant. Are those your two boys in one of the photos? I'm curious to know how often do you travel somewhere far in a year?<br /><br />A fellow traveler,<br />Karen OAlkemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00073900773860510777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478044692546631790.post-71084824197501340952010-04-19T09:25:54.626-04:002010-04-19T09:25:54.626-04:00Wonderful photos.

Your photographs show a country full of beauty and colour, hiding the sadness within, Such amazing Temples and buidings and the people look so kind and welcoming. You must have gained much from meeting them and seeing the way in which they lead their lives. Very grounding.<br />I must apologise for not coming over sooner. It seems to take ages, commenting on everyones blog who have been kind enough to leave me a comment. I will put you on my sidebar when I have finished this comment. Thank you so much, Francine, for your continued support, I will be a regular visitor from now on.

Witnessing their fear, their pain, and hearing it from their lips must change a person deeply, to their core. I know I would come home having a heavy heart but feel enriched as well. Your photos were magnificent, truly stunning. Your sweet 'men' too; what a great photo of your boys. <br />Thank you very much for asking how things are going with our decision process. Would you believe I packed my first two boxes today. We have decided that we above all need change, and some freedom from life's belongings. We are waiting for confirmation in regards to a contract of employment for Graham. The hardest part lies ahead. I would need to stay behind yet again to tie up all the ends. For many it would be a easy process as money solves so many issues doesn't it? My husbands dear mum is in her last days of life in Scotland. Her cancer has progressed by leaps & bounds and she is now unable to talk or move. So much to think about. Thank you for sharing your story with us all. You are such a valuable human being and friend. <br />Thinking about your mother as well. xDumbwit Tellherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148671166061931241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478044692546631790.post-71648745755496830812010-03-02T09:29:49.720-05:002010-03-02T09:29:49.720-05:00Unbelievable images and a beautiful post Francine....Unbelievable images and a beautiful post Francine...simply divine.
