Just got into Bangkok again this morning at 6:00 am, and checked my regular mail at the guest house. Got my diploma, so all is good. We are heading to Laos tonight on a train. It was a good ride here, I slept through most of it, which was helpful. Here are some pictures and… Read the rest »

I know that I have gotten rather lazy with my blogging, but I do have a reasonably good explanation. My schedule of late has been: I wake up at 8:00am, meet Emily, Thad, Dustin, and Jarred (the guys I am going to Laos with) for breakfast to decide where to climb, and we try to… Read the rest »
