Happy Birthday L.R.

Last I looked, it was L.R.'s birthday on Nov. 11. It's still November 10th here, but tomorrow we will be on a longtail boat headed toward a town called Chiang Rai. It's a three hour trip down the river (Mekok???). We will stop at some hill tribe villages along the way. These are the indigenous people of the area.

I'm in a video shop in town called Tha Ton and above me on the wall is a poster of Wallace and Gromit. Same, same, but different. That's a local saying. You hear many asian people say "same, same."

Unfortunately, I cannot leave you a picture. We don't have the cable for the camera and they don't have a drive or a card reader to upload pictures to you.

At dinner tonight I took a picture of a golden retriever. Just like Lucy, but stinky. Happy though!! Miss you all. Sing happy birthday to L.R. for me.
