Dear Bridget Love Joshua

"Oh bridget, how I miss you! Thank you so much for all that you say, thank you for letting me glimpse your world from so far away and yes, your vlogs make me feel like your just a click away! I am lucky to find this internet shop; I'm in sam neua, last night I slept in vieng xai, the first town across the border. Yesterday I covered roughly 135 miles on a motor bike, 185 kilometers to the border from the village I was staying in and another 60 kilmeters to vieng xai. The trip was the best I' have ever had, the visual beauty brought me to natural highes I have never known. it cost me 22$ to the border then another 13 to veing xai, about double what I would have paid on the tourists busses to vientien, but this trip cannot be quantified in dollar amounts. 7 hours on a bike over mountains, through villages and valleys! my ass hurt terribly along the way, we strapped my backpack to the back and I squished between it and my driver. i was the second non asian to use that border crossing in the last week, talk about the road less traveled. Laos! what an amazing place, already it is my favorite. Tribes are everywhere, woman carry woven baskets fastened by bark straps around their heads. corn grows on the mountain sides and the people are beautiful and very quick to smile... besides the border, where I had to haggle them down to 13$ ( they knew I had absolutley no choice!)  the sign on my back I had in Vietnam that said "ATM" is magically gone! people are friendly, and this is the real deal, I've seen three tourists, the landscape is arresting and all my thoughts eventually lead me back to "I wish bridget could see this". in the last three days I have not had anything to eat that did not involve rice or noodles...pork, chicken, onions, spinache and of course. beer. this morning the owner of the guest house said " well if you want breakfast there are noodle shops at the market" but I"ve had noodles the last 4 meals... he looks at me like I'm insane... of course I had noodles the last three meals, what else would you eat!!! the days of burgers and pizza, sushi and curry are hundreds of miles behind me, Saigon was a land of luxery!.I am very, very glad you feel focussed and driven, I cannot wait until..nthe blessed day thatI can be there to support you in the flesh and be a..npart of the thrill of the day to day ventures. I can't tell you how..nproud I am of you, Bridget you are like my hero...and yes, I feel you. Not some wishywashy crap I really TRULY feel you,..I have times when it is so electric that I know you are thinking of me,..nI feel it with all  my senses...don't stab yourself! sheesh.What book are you reading? I'm readin 7 years in Tibet, it is exceptional. Being 26 feels great! I look forward to the person I am constantly..nbecoming with intense pleasure. I feel at once old as the stars and..ngleefully childish! Our lives will be full honey, they already..nare.  I'm healthy, yes. I'm eating not as regularly as it is..nsometimes hours until I can do so vbut I'm drinking lots of water and..nwhae I eat I eat alot. like I said rice and noodles. My whole body is..nsore from the ride and thwe long walks I find myself taking everyday. I..nalso have been good about doing push ups and sit ups too! tomorrow I will either take a truck to some "stonehedge" like..nmonolithes or rent a motobike.  the next day I will move on to..nanother town, working my way central and north. I am so close to being home to you, even as I see the most beautiful..nscenery I ever been bleesed to glimpse I think of you and the 48 days..nuntil I'm home for sure. my solice is the next 29 days in Laos will be..nfilled with beauty. I pray this finds you well. I love you more than ever. more and more and more....thank you for your love, friendship and I am very, very glad you feel focussed and driven, I cannot wait until the blessed day thatI can be there to support you in the flesh and be a part of the thrill of the day to day ventures.
