Into the Mystic

Nothing is your except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.

Black House, White Temple

We've been exploring Northern Thailand for the past week starting in Chiang Mai and venturing to Chiang Rai!

Elephant Nature Park

I meant what I said and I said what I meant, an elephant's faithful one hundred percent!

Country #7: Thailand

We've eaten our way through Thailand and we've only been in Chiang Mai for two days!

Mingalaba!

That's Burmese for Good Morning! Good Afternoon!, and Good Evening!

This Must Be The Place

The sunrise atop a temple was certainly an unforgettable moment.

Mysterious, fascinating and charming -- that's Bagan for you.

Yangon to Bagan

Our oasis in Bagan

Hi, it's us! We had very little, to absolutely no WiFi this past week which was definitely a creature comfort we missed. Today we took a private taxi from Bagan to Mandalay. It was just under four hours on a rickety and bouncy road (I can't even imagine what the train is like!), but we made it safely despite not wearing seat belts, and as we quickly weaved around motorists, other cars and the occasional herd of cows.

Same Same but Different

We're all the same same, but different.

("Same same" is what people say when they want to sell us something, but we try and go elsewhere)

Just a normal Day...

Although it may seem like it, we aren't always on the go, go, go! Since we are doing such extensive travel, we've realized the importance of down time and openly/fully take advantage of it. 

Temple Hopping!

On Tuesday morning we were one of the many who woke up for a 4:30am tuk tuk ride to catch the 5:30am sunrise at Angkor Wat.

Siem Reap

 Greetings from Siem Reap!

Phnom Penh

On Thursday we hired a tuk tuk driver for the day to take us to lunch, The Killing Fields, and the Tuol Sleng Genocide Musuem.
