The Motorbike Diaries: Remember | Luceo Images

In November of 2006 I left my country for the first time.  Wait, rewind.  Two months earlier, I was a staff photographer for the California-based newspaper, The Sacramento Bee.  I was attending a one-hour seminar about something that I have completely forgotten about.  But as I was leaving I overheard a coworker that I barely knew talking about a trip he will be taking to the Philippines to visit his mother and he was even thinking about hitting up Vietnam.  I walked up to him and said, “I’m going with you!”  He looked stunned for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and said, “ok”.  That “Ok” sealed a brotherly bond that I would shared with Bobby ever since.
