    Hi Paul! Jim and I are constantly fasinated by how you write and describe your experiences while you travel the world. The photos are UNBELIEVEABLE (especially the recent ones in Viet Nam). Each one seems to tell a story without needing words. I think your next assignment should be for National Geographics Magazine. We think you are amazing! :O) Jim says “Stay thirsty, my friend!” Love, Karen and Jim Lundy
