Photo Journal of Thailand so far!

Riding Elephants!
Sam and another volunteer, Hayley, after we went for a swim with the elephants!
Yeah, I volunteered to be stepped on by an elephant, think what you will of me.
Elephant show, never knew elephants could do this sorta thing!
Bananas for the elephants!
Feeding the elephants!
This is the awesome group of people that we are staying with while volunteering in Surin!
Big Buddha!
Big staircase to the big Buddha..297 stairs!
Phenong Raung..or some spelling like that, the temple on an extinct volcano.
Awesome huge gecko who lives at our house!
Fun times at the waterfall with Katoon, our guide and Stuart, our Scottish travel mate for the two weeks of touring that we are doing.

  3. Did any of the geckos turn into princes or maybe the king of Siam? Keep trying!

  4. Hawaiian's believe Gecko's are good luck so hopefully so do Thai's! As for getting stepped on by the elephant, it's said they disperse less pressure with their feet then a woman does wearing heels....maybe you can verify that now? ...Not that I think you've been stepped on by a woman in heels!

    The other day I wasn't out and a sturgeon measured 6'7" and errored out the 45 kg scale, I'm so bummed I wasn't there again!

    You two look great, life's about relationships and health not material possesions or how much money you have....I'm glad your capitalizing on that with your new housemates.

  6. We've printed the amazing pics - wow! What's next, pray tell? We can't imagine what could possibly top this! What's the weather like? We'd gladly send you ours: rain and very cool temps; we're not sure Maine will actually have a summer this year!! It happened once long before we moved here; no crops grew!! Pretty bizarre, eh? Enjoy everything to the max; with love, DCD
