Spot the Dumbo...

We did a triple threat last weekend - elephant riding, mountain biking, & whitewater kayaking. No pics of the mountain biking (which was 10K all up a craggly mountain) or the whitewater kayaking because the camera would have gotten soaked. About 5 minutes into it, my guide told me to "LEAN LEFT" at which point he totally dumped me over.


Amanda has more pics and description on her blog. Like an elephant, been busy here packin' my trunk(s). We've been trying to squeeze every last drop of Chiang Mai in. There have been several good meals with friends, our bikes and cell phones have been sold, and of course the world's biggest water fight - Thai New Year

There's something fun about squirting total strangers and shucking and jiving between soaked bodies everywhere. No one is safe from the guns, buckets, 55 gallon drums of water all over the city. Amanda walked 2 blocks for some broccoli yesterday and came back saturated. We keep a steady rotation of wet/dry clothes on the balcony. I try to jazz it up a bit. My signature move is the crack-attack. I sneak up on the backside of an unsuspecting Thai guy, usually sitting on the side of pick-up truck. I'll lift his drenched shirt and proceed to shoot him in the lower back and "where the good Lord split him." By the time he spins around, I am 30 yards down the flooded road looking for my next target. I'm a crack shot.
