You know you're enjoying yourself when you are in a vast cultural landscape and you lost track of what day and date it is!

What a tremendous day we've had... we went to visit a few small villages about 3 hours outside of Chiang Mai... what an experience! We also got to visit the biggest limestone cave in Thailand as well as some of the tribal people.

It was a spectacular experience seeing all of the scenery and the people... watching them working in the fields, cooking, coming home from school, doing laundry and all the time smiling. 

We don't have too much time right now to fill you in on all the details of the day... I think by the photo's everything will come together.

Tomorrow we head off to Doi Inthanon, the highest mountain in Thailand, it is part of a mountain range separating Burma from Thailand also known as Loi Lar Mountain Range.

We're off now to eat some of that glorious Thai food as we have a very early start tomorrow... what'll it be tonight Ce?

Signing off,

Derm & Ce

Hey San and Juan, I think these people received the first copies of that great book ;-)

Anyone interested in investing in leaf roofing in Canada?

To have very little and to be happy... we have a lot to learn...
What's really scary is that Ce was wondering what kind of
dog that was... I had to break the news that it was a pig.

We don't have much but look at the view we have!

Making bamboo rope

What a character! A Polish chap that I got to know on our trip
 actually tried what he was smoking,
he said, " it was strong but very good".

Play time

Under construction

She was giving out to us for not buying anything
I told her, "she couldn't do
that, as it is ineffective to bark
at an Irishman or a Peruvian"... She
understood completely after a little something.

Delivering the siding/walls/insulation for the hut under
construction.

Rice fields are truly something

A limestone cave with so many characters... and of course

What a scary looking natural formation

Ce, BEWARE of the hand of Buddha

An old temple

Ce and I making friends... we're trading in our dog
for a dragon.

This was truly amazing to see

To feel the weight of these brass rings was incredible,
but to wear them from 4 years of age is shocking... and to
compare neck length... Wow!!

This is the "Big Ear" tribe...
look at the earring

What beautiful people

She is two years older than my
granddaughter 

We are still stunned by what
we experienced today!

Ce fell in love with this little girl
