We made it!

Hello loved ones. Oriana and I arrived in Bangkok this morning at 12 am. We successfully made it to our guesthouse. It was difficult to sleep after our 26 hour journey. We flew over Alaska and the Russian tundra to Tokyo and then on to Bangkok. So far so good... After hours of attempting to sleep we decided to take a walk. At 6:30 this morning we walked through the beautiful lobby to encounter a dear friend from Missoula using the internet. Small world I guess. Bangkok is happening and I dare anyone to try to cross the street without their wits. People from all around the world are juking and jiving through the streets and alleyways. Everyone is extremely friendly so far. All the locals are hustling goods and services every time you turn your head. We will rest before going out with friends for a delicous dinner and local brews. Three of us had a wonderful bite and sip this morning for a total of about 5 or 6 dollars - pretty amazing. Sunday morning we're heading north towards Chiang Mai. We are safe, sound, healthy and fortunate here. Only the monks in the streets and Buddha know what lies ahead. Farewell till next time for if I use the internet for an hour it will run me over one US dollar. Oh and for you boxing fans, I set next to Manny Paquia (?sp) trainer from LA to Japan. For those unfamiliar, he is the Phillipino whom just defeated Oscar De La Hoya in Las Vegas at the MGM. They've invited me to come train!

much love-
