Adventures Etc.

Okay everyone...here's what's going on. Things continue amazingly on our journeys. We've been in Chiang Mai since Sunday night, and let me tell you, good times have been had. We honestly do miss the kids back in Pua, but it's been neat to have some new crazy experiences while here in Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is a fairly large city, like Saskatoon probably, but with many more people. The lifestyle is prety laid-back, unlike Bangkok. Us country boys have found many fun adventures not just in the city, but more so in the surrounding beautiful mountainous countryside. It is so unbelievably pretty here - with so many neat things to explore such as huge mountains, caves, waterfalls. Anyways, without further ado, a few pics to show you:
(Mom, sorry about the, well, you'll find out..)

Arnold and Me.

We rode elephants - pretty sweet. This is how it looks from the top. Tons of fun. Jealous Ms. N?

Here we are with our sweet Honda Dream 125 cc. motorcycles. These things do 85 km/h tops safely.

A breath-taking waterfall in Doi Inthanon National Park. Can you find the little Cody?

This is how it looks from the highest point in all of Thailand - we drove up Doi Inthanon with the motorcycles - just different ones as you will soon see (sorry mom).

An amazing cave east of Chiang Mai. We were the ONLY people in it. Somewhat spooky actually...but really cool.

Had to save this one for last. You can't drive these in Canada without a license. I am not licensed in Canada, but in Thailand that's okay. I'm all safe and sound - but it was a lot of fun to drive. Didn't do anything stupid mom, don't worry! Rented it for one day to go up Inthanon. Shoot...

So, as you can see, we've had some crazy experiences. God continues to grow us and walk with us. His creation is so vast and amazing! Our plans are to leave on tuesday at 2:30 (that's when our flight leaves) for Bangkok, and then bus to Chon Buri which is on the ocean. I get my Indian visa on tuesday morning - so pray that everything work smoothly! We're hoping to work with the kids at the orphanage yet. Last time we visited they were gone - so hopefully next time we can be with them actually. Anyways, thanks for all the prayers, and know that we are both keeping very safe and sound.
