A little daily offering

offering on the dashboard, Amed coast, Bali, originally uploaded by zawelski.

Okay, this says "posted by Jane" even though this is Dave still writing, but this is how you do things when you're traveling with your mom for a bit and writing from an internet cafe next to the Youth Hostel you're staying at and the internet in China, (for reasons related to, um, recent events in a country with pyramids in it, and others nearby), has been extremely wonky in the last month or so.

But back to Jane - here is a photo she took of a couple of dolls on the dashboard of an open-backed truck that we hitched a ride on in Bali. I never saw these in person, because the boys and I were perched on burlap bags on the back of the truck amidst a small convenience store's worth of groceries and other provisions. It was a little bit cramped, but at least we stayed dry, which was more than I can say for the ride back, which is another story entirely....

But this is a small offering to Jane, who is, after all, staying home with the kids for the entire week, teaching, and generally rocking the house and expertly taking care of business while I'm in Beijing wearing off a bit of shoe leather showing my mom the Forbidden City. I owe you a couple more rain-drenched rides in the back of a bouncy pickup, honey...!
