Date: February
I've been very slack about putting up some photos of my February trip to Thailand. It is time to remedy that.
We went on a bamboo raft trip around a rice field. It wasn't exactly the most exciting thing we did, but it was beautiful and the water felt great after a couple days of hiking. The water was only maybe 7 feet deep--at the deepest point. So the giant ugly orange life vests were annoying, but I understand why they had to be worn. It was great to just lay back and enjoy the sun.
One of the girls on the trip, Yvonne, took all the photos, so I give her a big shout-out for being our photographer! Thanks!

| Getting into our raft. It is literally dried bamboo and rubber lengths. Our combined weight sunk the raft just enough that our feet got wet. It was bliss...(unless you looked at your toes and realized you really needed a pedicure...) |

| Op! They caught up! This was definitely a "Hey guys! SMILE!" |

| Along the banks some people would be playing. Others were fishing. You can really understand why they call river's the way of life. People's lives were centered on the water. It was incredible to see--even if it was a short, superficial view. |
