One of our many breakfasts we made in our rooms. We could have always found great food but these were cheaper and really delicious plus, we didn't have to go find it. Every guest house includes instant sort of coffee that sometimes is pretty good.

Dok Fai tree flowers on really dry grass.

This flower had such a nice shade of yellow.

The back end of really nice wooden bungalows overlooking the Mekong River in Bung Kla and a happy Andrea.

Kat MarrinerHappy to get the last juicy bits of the journal. I got lazy part way through and didn't look up my password to comment, so I'll say it all here. It is always entertaining, educational, and inspiring to see you two pedal through your favorite part of the world. While I sit on my couch next to the fire, I get transported and love the mini vacation (plenty of heat but no sweat and grit :-) Thanks for making the effort to share the sights and stories.

Jen RahnTotal Smiles = 56,716
Average Smiles/Day = 2,578

And this doesn't even include the smiles of your readers!

I'll still smile every time I imagine the missed video opportunity .. of you whirling around filming the butterfly. And every time I remember one of the many great stories from Unmettled Roads.

Smiles Compounded = 23,657,943

Ron SuchanekI almost don't want to make this comment on the heels of the thoughtful ones by Kat and Jen. Almost....
Anyway, I wonder if chicken scalp is what they put in canned chicken. It makes you think.
