Muz 'n' Shell

Muzzy and I started traveling in 1990. Our first trip was to Thailand. Muzzy was in the Merchant Marines in another incarnation and had traveled all over the world. I had done a lot of internal traveling, but waited a lifetime to be able to really travel. After that first trip I was definitely hooked. We went to Bali in '93. In '96 we returned to Thailand to visit our daughter Sarah at her Peace Corps site in Petchabun province. In '99 we went to Nepal and Thailand, in '03 to Laos and Thailand, and in '05/'06 back to Thailand, Laos and Burma. In '07 we returned to Nepal, Laos and Thailand with our dear traveling companion Kyp. Muzzy and I have been incredibly fortunate in making the trip up the Nam Tha river twice to Luang Namtha. Laos is very special to us. I just hope we get to keep traveling. The photos posted on this site are all by Mr. Muz unless otherwise stated, and he is a grand and wonderful photographer!

Call for Artists

Bijoux is bumbling along through the summer. Thanks to all of our supporters. Downtown Bellingham may make it, no thanks to the city fathers or mothers. I will be doing my yearly offrenda in Bijoux's front window for the Days of the Dead and had hoped to involve the local arts community with a nice exhibit like the one I saw in Mt. Vernon last year. But it is not to be. So, how about a grass roots sort of movement. Does anyone out there do artwork around the Day of the Dead theme? I would be happy to host your art at Bijoux for the month of October, and if it looks like I have too many takers, I'll help you find another spot to exhibit. Just drop by and talk it over with me. We all need to pull together in these "par'lous" times!
