Friday Funnies

Hi,

Trying to wrap up this week in five days is proving difficult. So much to tell you about our recent adventures. Daku went to the vet, we went to another Hill Tribe (HT) village and Blue left for his long trip home.

The most recent song was a classic by Elvis Presley. "Return To Sender" was from 1962. Fast forward to '77:
"You're as __ __ __, You're willing to sacrifice our love. You never take advice, someday you'll pay the price, I know." Hint: Something about temperature, by a group with a name that describes me in Thailand. Hmm.

So, Daku is growing rapidly. He is still having trouble with his unwanted visitors so we took him back to the vet. This time he got something more aggressive. He got sprayed. We had just given him a bath and we were thinking he'd be all stinky. He was smelling pretty bad when we left the vets, but it went away and it seems that he's scratching a bit less. He can now climb the stairs by himself. Yea. He's getting pretty heavy and it's nice that he can at least go up. He's still afraid to go down, which means he has a little common sense. He loves to play with or without company. I'll try and put up some more pics so you can see what he's looking like these days.

The HT village we went to today is much closer to us. It's in the village of Ban Din and only about 20 minutes away. We met more Yao, Akha, Paduang and we also met some Muser. We were treated to a performance by the Akha where the women pounded bamboo tubes on the ground and a man played a wind instrument called the Cahn. We took pictures in each section and one Yao woman showed us a picture of herself when she was young. She was standing in an opium field. More about that some other time.

We spent the evening hanging out at the house before Blue had to be at the airport. Kristin, Blue, Lisa and I recalled some of the high points of the week and it was very mellow. Then it was time to go. When we got to the airport they told us that the flight had been delayed so we hung out with Blue at a coffee shop until boarding time.

I think we'll have a quiet weekend so I'll save our busy Friday for Monday. It's time for the 'Funnies'. Kristy sent these in and you'll have to thank her for the laughs and moans. (Ha)

Peace,
Danny
