Always with us

Ok, so we learned that no time + poor internet = really lame blog. Yes, Anthony you were RIGHT. But in retrospect, better to have a really awesome experience than a really awesome blog, right?


We were only halfway through our trip at that last posting in the Golden Triangle. The following 10 days continued on pace... drop-dead gorgeous scenery, friendly faces and did-we-really-just-do-that moments. 

One of my favorites was the last day in the South, as we took sea canoes into crypt-like sea caves. In your inflatable canoe, you would go through passages in which you had to lay flat and become entombed in rock for a few minutes, the ceiling was at times touching your nose.  Here's one of the canoes slowly easing out of a tight passage.  Talk about learning self-control on the fly... nothing to do but breathe, be still and try not to panic. But then, you blast out the other side into this stunning gorge with its jaw-dropping, soul-aching beauty that, of course, could only exist where man couldn't easily reach it. It was the birth experience revisited, complete with Thai men yelling... push, push.


Below are photo highlights from throughout the trip.  They're not chronological and not captioned... just a few of the moments that will forever live in our hearts.
