Just reminiscing on practicing in Koha Samet, Thailand. The Tsunami that devastated the area occurred only days after I left and I always wonder about the state of those beaches and the great locals and tourists I met there. Wishing the best for the Thai government and its people and hoping to someday return to enjoy one of the most beautiful places and peoples on Earth. Really want to get back there and get my hands on some of the incredible rock climbing there in the Western islands.
Took a lot of Thai massage there and picked up a bit more at the Old Medicine Hospital in Chiang Mai. We spent three days on elephants trekking through rain forest and sleeping in villages with less than 20 residents. Unbelievable stuff. Of course my camera died the morning we got on the elephants… I think it was jammed full of sand! Cant wait to get back and see Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia as well. So many places to go!
Next international travel plans? World Cup soccer in South Africa/climbing trip (The Rocklands). Taking a posse there in 2010! You in?
Nice manties!
Thanks hun!
I am so in for the world cup in South Africa. My dad, bro, husband and I have been scheming about it since the last world cup. Keep me posted on plans that you make.
