It's about time for some pictures, and I finally found an internet connection fast enough to load some. (I hope)

Thailand

Here we are, the 5 of us in Koh Chang, Thailand.
Ella, Molly, Avy, Bridget, Michelle

We rented moto bikes for the day to cruse the island with our new found Thai friend. This picture is from one of our many stops on that adventure.

Cambodia
Angkor Wat... Was spectacular! All the walls had very detailed designs telling stories about the Buddhists and Hindu religions. This is the main Angkor Wat temple. It was built for King Suryavarman II in the 12th century and this was his state temple and city capital.

I'm not sure how many temples there are or how many we visited, but this one was one of my favorites with all the faces carved into the stone.

Most of the temples have become in golfed with trees.

Lao
These are rice farmers from the island of Don Det. Rice is their main crop, but in the highlands of Laos Coffee and Tea are becoming a main crop as well, especially since the government has outlawed growing opium.

This was one of the mose beautiful places on earth. We were in the middle of a rain forest with a crystal clear waterfall crashing down around us. We were soaking wet just standing in the mist from the water fall.

Molly and Bridget from one of the many swings into the river...
Vang Vieng, Laos was like MTV Spring Break (or what I imagine it would be like), but Lao style... Whenever you're up and ready to take on a full day of boozing and cruzing you rent an inter tube catch a ride up the road and spend the day on the river getting tan, drinking beer or 'happy shakes' (a fruit smoothy with any form of an illegal substance in it... mostly weed but they may come with other hallucinogens) and swinging into the river from one of the many bars along the way. All the swings are at different heights and not all the bars are happening. We tended to stop at about 3 of the many bars have a beer and swing into the river 5 or so times. Some of the swings 3 people could swing from at the same time. We've decided that we need to start something like this in Glenwood...

Here are the 5 of us once again after a day of tubing in Lao.
