My blood pressure has finally come down. I almost had to take myself (and the Thai boy who narrowly missed receiving my sandal in his colon) back to the hospital for a much-needed bear tranquilizer. In the process of simply transferring photos from my camera to a CD, the young man at the internet café erased all of the photos from my digital camera! Oh, the fury.
Fighting back a calamitous tantrum, I pedaled across town to the night bazaar in search of a camera specialist. When I found one, he meddled for 20 minutes and was able to retrieve the deleted photos. There is a God but, holy smokes, does He just love putting the screws to me.
Speaking of pictures, the last few days have gotten exponentially more exciting. Today I went to
I also went to the dentist a few days ago. Had a teeth cleaning and two cavities filled for a grand total of $85!
The next time this blog gets updated I should be in Luang Prabang,
Much love to you all from

Kristi dear! So glad you are getting healthy and playing with elephants. Looking forward to hearing about your next jump. Hopefully you'll get some riding in soon. We just got back from a wonderful visit with Erin in Bend - lots of SUN, SNOW, and mountains. Wonderful fall scents, crisp and cold. Quite the contrast to where you are, eh? Unfortunately we are sick too (sinuses), but I don't think we'd trade it for dengue. Hasta pronto querida,

sounds like great time. i am a friend of your mother; she suggested i read your blog since i have spent some time in vietnam. hope you enjoy the trip, the street people there are generally pretty nice and helpful. one word of warning however; if you see two trucks coming, not leaving you any room, get ready to get off in the ditch. for some reason, they don't like to slow down, even if it means someone on a bike or cycle has to go over in the ditch.
Hi Kristi,
I just read your blog. What fun you are having. So sorry that you got dengue fever - bummer. Keep up the DEET and premethrin. Sounds like you are meeting some interesting people. Your pix are fabulous. Health traveling!!
