Awesome and educational blog. If I were a teacher in the public educational system, I would love to get my hands on the picture slides and blogs and present to students.

ShangriLa?
What a neat trip! Shangri-La, huh? Hardly seems like what one would expect from Lost Horizon. But the produce seems heavenly!

wow, such adventures!
I'm sorry to say I didn't keep up with the blog...thought you wouldn't even leave the US before now, mid March. Shame on me. What wonderful blogs and pictures. I was in Japan for 2 weeks in early january and loved it. Getting around Kanagawa province was so easy by train. Hope you have a wonderful time there. I'll be in Tennessee March 26-April 1, visiting a friend near Memphis, then in Gatlinburg for an Arrowmont Arts and Crafts weekend. Hope to hear from you sometime.

your blogs
Thanks for your blogs - I'm loving them - though circumstances here put me behind in keeping up (I'm going to e-mail you) and also going to make copy for Donna Abrams to log on - like me she is not a swiftee with computers but she always ask me about your travels - I think you had told her how to get there but like me, if you had not wrote down directions, I would have never made it. Love you, if the world were full of Tom and Sandy's what a wonderful world it would be. Vivian.

Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing this adventure online, it was very touching. We have gotten my wife's family in Hue addicted to Angry Birds :D So when the chicken came out with the head, did you say, "it's smiling" - Christmas Story. Enjoy the rest of your time in Asia (if still there) and thanks again for posting. Hen gap lai. - NE Indiana

Angry Birds -- thanks!
Yes, the Angry Birds were a hit. We're planning to send a Gameboy with learning software for young Tom's birthday in July. I hope it helps him improve his skills and knowledge.

New Pet
Not only could Miss Ellie (short of course for elephant) pull Kudzo from the trees, she could pull out all the dead and diseased trees on the mountain. she could push all winter visitors up the mountains when the ice and snow got a little too much and she could shoot water from her trunk at all the pesky squirrels. shw would, of course, have to share some space in the outdoor pen with Tulip, but all in all, I think she would be adorable. Certainly would keep Coronna in line.

Love the River
Boy, that river trip is definitely a Carl and me thing!! We could do that for the full 3 month trip. And I love the boat....THAT is definitely me. Are there snakes and bugs? Looks like the smaller upper and lower cabin compartments on on end might be the staterooms. How nice of Tom to arrange a private trip for the two of you. and you still get the full crew? does your travel guides remain with you the entire trip?

Mekong Delta
Yes, Tom's a pretty good guy. And yes, we had a crew of five for the two of us. We've hired different guides when we needed to -- and we've learned so much from them!

Pig Heads!
I was taken aback when I first went to a Mongolian market by the meat section. Everything else was fine but dear.... the smell of raw meat is an unexpectedly strong smell and yes, the pig and goat heads are mighty impressive.

Horse Soup
If you look in one recent post, you'll see that this trip included a market in NW Vietnam where they're serving horse soup. Yum ...
