Alive & well

For those of you who have been inquiring about my well being, I am alive and well. I am in Chiang Mai, a city in northern Thailand. I have not been doing much the past few days. It has been raining quite a bit here, and I just felt like resting. I am, however, looking at some brochures for rock climbing, caving, rafting, kayaking & mountain biking. Once I decide how much I am willing to to spend to do these activities, I may do some of them....or I may just move on to Laos.

At the end of last month, I popped into Myanmar so I can renew my Thai visa. I am glad it was only a visa run, or I might have been caught in the cyclon that killed many. But no need to worry about possible dangers...........

I'll post some pictures soon.
