Day 1 Excursion

Today we hiked about 5 miles in the hills west of Chiang Mai. We saw rice, corn, bananas, coffee, starfruit, sugar cane, peanuts, pineapple, ginger and some variety of Thai plums. It was really hot and really humid but we took lots of water breaks and a lengthy lunch break. I've posted some photos of the trip so far to Facebook. It's a public page viewable to anyone.

Tomorrow we pack for two days in our backpacks. We'll ride elephants in the morning and do more hill trekking in the afternoon. The next two nights we're in longhouses which don't have electricity so this may be the last post for a few days. Everything is going really well. No stomach bugs or travel sickness. Love to all.
