Hello Again My Friends and Family,

It has been a busy, relaxing and, most of all, fun time over the last week or so. I haven't had time to really put my thoughts into words--I don't even have time now (I'm off to see some music with a friend). I am now in Chiang Rai and will be heading into Laos tomorrow for another chapter in my adventure. I spent the six days in Pai--the most beautiful and mellow area (that is still easily tourist accessible) I have been to in Thailand. I could spend a month there easily. Really.

I hope to find myself with a few hours to put together another blog for everyone. Until then, here is a link to some new photos from my journey:

I hope this note finds everyone happy, healthy and well.

Love,

Gabriel
