Barefooted Dance Photo: Northern Thai traditional dancers at Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep during what was supposed to be a monk filled celebration for the Thai new year of Songkran. The monks never materialized, but as you can guess by the dark clouds, torrential rain did.

Trees & Rocks Photo: Ella is a sliver of a beach town on the south coast of Sri Lanka hit extremely hard by the 2004 tsunami. It seemed everyone I met volunteered a tragic tale of the death of a family member or friend. The small family-run beach-front hotel I stayed at tragically lost 2 employees who were swept out to sea. On an uplifting note, due to the generous donations of foreign tourists who fell in love with Sri Lanka, Ella was able to rebuild quickly and regain at least a semblance of normalcy.
