Last Shots of Thailand

Our last teaching "hurrah" in Thailand was a two day seminar for the teachers. We had a blast and I hope they did too. We are sitting with a lap full of gifts from the teachers. Their generosity is humbling. Notice that we are the only ones in the room not wearing the King's shirt. He he.


Our friend Doc Mai was preparing for her wedding and I was invited along to help in the dress selection process. While Mai was trying on dresses the shop owner pulled a dress out for me to try.
I was so nervous to put my sweating Western-size body into this gorgeous and very tiny traditional Thai wedding dress. Once I got it on (which was no small feat) I was afraid to breath too deeply for fear I was going to bust right through it. The fact that it is too small is being hidden by the sash over my front and my hand on my side. The store owner preceeded to pulled out a camera and began to shoot like a half-tanked hick at a fence lined with cans of Old Milwaukee's Best. The next time I went to the shop with Mai I was handed a photo album of the pictures they took and was asked for permission to have my picture blown up and put in the store front window. What as gas!


Here's a shot of us with Gib and Doc Mai. We went climbing together in an amazing and isolated area not too far from home. We really had fun with these guys and are glad they were willing to venture out with us.


Climbing in rural Thailand. If it hadn't been for Mai we never would have found this incredible spot. This place became one of our favorite (and only) spots to go climbing. It wasn't too far from Nonsung and we made it out three times altogether. If you look closely you'll see Tim on top of one of the rocks.


Krabi (pronounced like it's spelled with a G) is a beautiful and quiet island area that proved a great place to spend our last two weeks in Thailand. This is a picture of Riley Beach. There was a lot of climbing and breath- taking scenery.

That's a big'un!

Oh how we miss our motorcycle! Good bye Thailand.
