Thailandish

Yes, we are in Thailand. Yes, we are very safe.
We arrived just before the airports closed and spent a few days in Bangkok seeing some sights. We watched some Muay Thai Kickboxing, seen some amazing temples and palaces, did some aerobics to techno music with alot of thai people in a park, I held a python around my neck and Brent stepped on a big fat rat by accident on the street. However, Bangkok was to busy and crazy so we left.

We are now in Chiang Mai, which is northern Thailand. We just finished doing a 3 day mountain trek which included visiting and staying in mountain villages, riding elephants, swimming and showering under huge waterfalls and alot of hiking and trekking through some pretty legit jungle. Our guide was using a machete to open the trail in alot of places. At the end of the trek we also got to do some whitewater rafting which was incredible.

Tomorrow we are going further north for a couple days then starting to head south so we will be hitting beaches just in time for christmas.

Glad to hear you're safe and well and having a great time! Sounds like an incredible adventure! (did I say that last time already?!) And I'm highly jealous that you'll be on the beach for Christmas!
