To Laos and Back in 7 days— Day 4 Redux

August 12th 2011, — Day Four. 




The single most magical moment of my life


I forgot to write that at the cave, something momentous happened. As I walked down the steps, my mom was looking at butterflies around the area with wonderment. I told my mom to look and pretended I knew what I was doing. I reached my finger up and said, "Watch this."

Then a butterfly latched on. It stayed there on my raised finger for half a minute. I made perfect eye contact with my mom and never looked straight at the colorful creature, afraid it would make too much movement.

That my friends, was the greatest moment nature has ever shoved in my face.
