Who knew Tibetan monks were into cruising? These two were all over the ship, monking it up. This was part of that Summit at Sea cruise I did. Think of it like a TED on the water. One thing that was pretty funny (well, to me) was what happened right when we launched the ship. I'm pretty apolitical, and I really don't get involved in either side, which is a nice benefit of living in New Zealand. But, as you can guess, these events draw a lot of extreme Left-leaning people. Well, the day we left the port in Miami was the same day Trump was elected. The next day there were all these announcements that some of the meeting rooms had been converted into “recuperation” rooms where people could go and weep and heal. You can't write this stuff. But, much like me, the monks didn't seem terribly bothered by any of this and just enjoyed looking at the ocean. - Trey Ratcliff Click here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Here in Fuqua, Vietnam, we never saw a bad sunset. They were all winners. It made me think that maybe I want to live on a little island like this where great sunsets are a regular thing. But, I'm definitely more of a mountain-kinda-guy. I don't get to see as many great sunsets, but I like seeing all the beautiful relief on the mountains around me all the time. I sort of think of that as a non-stop sunset with interesting textures and shapes in the sky. - Trey Ratcliff Click here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
