Going to SE Asia in Jan. with students
Hey Dave, Remember me? It's so cool to see photos of places and people I know. Thanks for the update. I think I just missed you by a couple of weeks last year when you were in Sapa. I was in SE Asia for December and January. At last, my Leadership course and Outdoor Adventure course that I have been working on was approved by my university so this Jan-Feb. I will be taking 5 students with me through Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam...should be a lot of fun. I'm also going to spend a little time after the course trying to find one of my little girls--Lala--from Sapa. She went missing several months ago and has not been heard of since. I'm in touch with her older sister from time to time. The good news is that we may have a lead. There is another young girl who recently returned to her village after being missing for some time. This girls says that she saw La in the same house where she was living. I'm going to speak with this girl and hopefully get enough information which will lead me to where La may be. It appears that La was taken against her will so I will try to find her and bring her back to her family. Wish me luck! Enjoy your time being back, maybe we'll meet on the road again.

Stunning
I do not think it possible to improve this picture, it is as close to perfect as you could get. It should have pride of place at any future "photo party".

Great pix
Hi Dave I really enjoy reading your blogs about your travels in SE Asia. Hearing your accounts when we met in Ayuthaya and Kanchanaburi was interesting enough but seeing the photo accompaniment adds much to the narrative. Do you plan another trip back to this part of the world soon? David F Maha Sarakham Thailand

Hey Dave!
Glad to hear your are doing well. Welcome back to the states! Girlfriend, huh? Don't tell me you are becoming domesticated again? If you get up to Duluth, please give me a holler. I would love to catch up with you. Julie and I just moved into a new house, finally! Hopefully this will be my last move, ever! Love your photos, you have really done great work. Take care, and Happy Thanksgiving. Greg

great flicks
I was in the area in March, but the fields were burning, too much smog so I hauled ass out of there. I appreciate the flicks, awesome. I did assist a family in the north of Laos with medicine, but then I left, rivers were low, land travel ugly, so I moved on.
