Zipping through the jungle...

Hey all...just back from a pretty cool little adventure about an hour outside of Chiang Mai called Flight of the Gibbon. It involves getting all geared up and navigating your way through the jungle from tree to tree via cables and zip lines. See link (http://www.treetopasia.com/). It was a cool/wet day, kind of a nice change of pace from the heat I've been getting used to....

I had Thai massage #2 of the trip last evening....so relaxed that I started to doze off during the hour-long session. 150 baht/hour. Where in the states can we get an hour message for $5?

Heading off to a little place called Pai, Thailand, tomorrow I reckon (I'm starting to use this term after hearing it daily from English travelers along the way). Hard to believe I've been over here nearly two weeks already!

Happy Hobo Days to anyone who may be in Britt this weekend.... Thanks for the comments!

Hey Cole! Big brother told me about your blog. This is so cool. I'm jealous of you--both about the opportunity, but just that you have the guts to take off and do this. These are great pictures and fun stuff to read. Take care!

Hi guess we might survive the big day--was over-cast a bit then the sun did come out--was warm but not everly hot. I don't know who is the king or queen---girls and I had a walk this am--finishing our walk when the run just got started so got to see that. All is well here, hope all is good with you. love mom
