Battered Suitcases

Water over roadway.

Today’s photo from the hip comes from Hoi An, Vietnam. This is actually one of my favorite from the hip photos. I like it so much that I was convinced I had already shared it. I did a little poking around and didn’t see it in my “FTH” folder so I decided to post it today. Apologies if it’s already been featured here!

One wet day in Hoi An the streets near the river were flooding. Of course, that didn’t cause the motorbikes to drive any slower. Even the rickshaws were going strong. I snapped a photo while we were walking by to help me remember the crazy roads. Driving in the rain will never phase me again.

At the top.

Today’s photo from the hip comes from the top of Burj Khalifa. Well, as far as the observation deck anyways. My sister visited me way back in 2011 while I was living in UAE. One night we decided to view the city of Dubai from up above. While we were taking photos I snapped a quick shot of us in the mirror. Can’t wait for my sister to visit me here in Marrakech.

Modes of transport.

Today’s photo from the hip comes from Marrakech, Morocco. I snapped this photo shortly after my arrival in the city. While walking in the Medina I started clicking away when I noticed the varying modes of transport. It’s not uncommon to see donkeys and horses heading down the road next to the motorbikes, beater taxis, and fancy town cars.

All part of the charm of living in Morocco.
