Exotic Adventure Continues

So how do you top an adventure such as I have been experiencing the past 6 months?  You go on another adventure, of course!  I met up with 3 wonderful ladies for dinner earlier this week; ladies who I had never had the pleasure of meeting in person and only one with whom I had "chatted" during the past year.  We had such a wonderful time talking not only about the diversity of our backgrounds, but the commonalities of the new independent women who have careers and take care of their families, but still find time for exotic adventures.  

We met up again for a dinner and cultural show in Chiang Mai and then made plans to visit the the Chiang Rai District with its Hot Springs, White Temple, Mekong River and Golden Triangle -- the confluence of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar -- and finally the Karen Long Neck Hill Tribe village.


What a day, and these are but a few of the wonderful sights from our excursion:

Would you believe a "no smoking" sign?  Cigarettes are being handed out by the devil...
