Ko Chang (Island in Thailand)

All of the amazing things that you have heard about the beaches in Thailand are true. We were able to enjoy this amazing island with Carolyn and Aaron (Ty's sister and husband). We did some snorkling and other than that.....a whole lot of nothin'. You can't tell in the picture of us eating dinner but we are right on the beach- which happen 3 times a day. The best food I have ever had CONSISTANTLY in my life- (the best food overall of course - is in Italy) but this was pretty darn good too! If you have not booked a ticket to Thailand yet...do yourself a favor, pick up the phone and call a travel agent.

Hiking in Thailand

We went up north in Thailand for an adventure that would turn out to be one of the highlights of our trip this year. We went on a hike with a guide that took us up the mountian to stay in a village where the Karen Tribe lives. The kids in the picutre are part of the tribe. On the way, we stopped to ride elephants (you can see the back of his head...so cute) and then continued on our way. We arrived at the village and enjoyed a meal prepared by Joe (our guide) in his little hut. We stayed the night in a hut that overlooked some rice fields and then set off in the morning for part two of the adventure. The way down of course was much easier than the way up....needless to say. We saw beautiful waterfalls and rode down the river on a raft.
