It’s moments like right now that I just yearn to hit the “pause” button so I can look at my life and breathe it all in.  The last few weeks have been jam-packed full of some amazing experiences and stories, defeats and victories, joys and heartaches.  Though I have really really really enjoyed my time with the July squad, it’s been hard for one BIG reason:
 
I miss my World Race family.

 
And so the time that I’ve spent in Vietnam the last few weeks I could have been spending in Northern Thailand with Rusty, Mark, and Matt.  Do you wish to know one of the many reasons I was looking forward to my time in Chiang Mai?  Sure you do.  It’s because of this restaurant Mark’s friends told us about called “Duke’s”.  They have REAL hamburgers there.  REAL meat!  And you want to know how much my brothers love me?  Well… they dedicated a blog just to me… rubbing in my face the opportunities I’ve missed, particularly at Duke’s. 
 
Here’s the blog:

THE DUKE BURGER!! 
 
 
 

Have fun in Vietnam, we look forward to seeing you very soon brother! Keep

bringing the fire!!

So as you can see… this is pure evil.  I have, however, eaten a delicious burger since my stay in Vietnam.  I fully intend on taking my brothers there and treating them to a burger better than that one.
