The first of many

Welcome to our new blog! Thanks for following us over here...that applies for both cyberspace and Asia.

While I look forward to curling up with my journal every evening, blogging does not appear to have the same pull. It's been several weeks since Robby or I have written anything longer than a Facebook update. Perhaps blogging is like traveling in that the hardest part is simply getting started? The only other thing I have to get started this evening is packing my exploded backpack for the millionth time, so eating a package of Oreos and catching ya'll up on our time in Thailand seems like a pretty good option. I'd hate to lose you, my dear reader, with a lengthy post so I will skip the details with a promise to blog more frequently.

Robby and I made it to Ayutthaya via bus from Trat on the 13th. We spent a hot day pedaling around the ruins and enjoying a new night market. We took an east bound train on the 15th to Pak Chong to check out Khao Yai National Park. Back to Ayutthaya on the 17th to treat ourselves to a first class night train to Chiang Mai. Highlights of our week in Chiang Mai have included staying at a guesthouse with a pool, getting the rub down from female inmates, wrecking a scooter, and observing a fluent spanish speaking thai ladyboy tour guide.

I love Thailand.
