Hi,

Today we traveled to the Golden Triangle. We went to a museum and finished the day with a trip to the vet.

The 'Easy' song was "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" by The Police. This next one is also kinda easy. (Ha)
"You know you're a cute little heartbreaker. You know you're a sweet little lovemaker. I wanna take you home, I won't do you no harm, no. You've got to be all mine, all mine, __ __." Hint: This guitar giant sings about a woman who he finds attractive. Hmm.

This morning our van arrived early for the trip to the north. The driver waited patiently while we got ready. He took us on our last adventure and it was nice to see him again. First we drove up to the Museum of Opium which is a very modern building that is filled with the entire history of opium. We watched short films, walked through numerous exhibits and looked at artifacts that detailed the history of everything related to this substance. We learned about the 'Opium Wars', the many unbalanced trade agreements and the pressure exerted by western countries to take advantage of the east. It ends in the 'Hall of Reflection' where we were given food for thought about how to put an end to the perils of addiction. All in all, a rather moving experience.

Next we drove up to Chiang Sen, a very old city on the Maekong River, right at the northern tip of the Golden Triangle. There we had lunch and strolled around the gift shops. Blue took photos and had lot of laughs. After that we drove farther north to the very top of Thailand, along the Burmese border and ended up in Mae Sai. Lots of walking, looking and picture taking.

This evening we took Daku back to the vet to make sure he was doing alright. We feared he might have an infection but we were told that he's doing fine. Dr. Arnon took his stitches out and told us we can take the cone off of his head in the morning. Daku will be thrilled.

Now it's time for an evening swim. It's also time for a Wacky Wednesday.

Peace,
Danny
