This time we have packed for 10,000 feet Andes, snow-packed volcanoes, as well as for the Amazon. It was very hard to pack light! We are going to trek in the Andes, hopefully making to the top of Machu Picchu; taking a boat down the Rio Madre De Dios in the Amazon; soaking in the Ecuadorian landscapes; all the wile eating new and exciting foods! ...ah, and drinking their beer! ... full info

Chiang Mai, Nothern Thailand

The night market. Did I mentioned before that Thais LOVE all kinds of food! There is food along every road on every corner, plus of course each town has a night market opened very late- all with FOOD!

Chiang Mai, Nothern Thailand

Outside Chaing Mai, Northern Thailand

OK, we went to pet Tigers! Why not?! Where else in a world can you get into a cage with a tiger or three?!!

Outside Chaing Mai, Northern Thailand

Tiger Kingdom- yes, Adam went into a cage with 2 fully grown Tigers!

I guess they were safe, as long as you stayed in the back of them. No petting of the head! That was it!

Outside Chaing Mai, Northern Thailand

I opted for the middle size tigers, about 15 months old. There were 2 in my cage area. This Tiger behaved JUST like a cat! I petted it's betty, it rolled over, pulled it's head upside-down, put his GIANT leg on top of my arm- for more comfort....and made noises that it felt good!

Outside Chaing Mai, Northern Thailand

this is my hard after this tiger streached out and burried my arm with his giant leg....

SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM.) sucha asian thing ... the whole barbaricness of it so tribal! in hawai'i cock fighting (hawaiians call "chicken fight") is a major MAJOR sport. illegal~but in hawai'i it's low pro understood cultural thing. nikki's brother inlaw bobbie has 20 chickens. sounds like a great show and how scary ... dorota on the micro-phone! i'm sure she did some damage! ;) i might say that i might even be down to box someone if i attended. hey ... what can i say, it's the asian girl in me! more good stuff please. aloha from america~ c
