Thailand...

During my month off, I'm traveling to Thailand and Vietnam. After a really long set of flights, we arrived in Chiang Mai Wednesday morning Thai time. We toured around the old city and had some yummy Thai food. I'm a total fan especially of Kao Soi - it's curry with egg noodles - a Northern favorite. The highlight today was riding on elephants! We went on a day trek where we visited some tribal villages, rode elephants, and then went on a bamboo raft. All were cool, but riding on the elephants was by far the best part. We also got to see a baby elephant - only 3 months old, it was so cute!
