Trekking Thai Style






Hey Everyone,

I took a little 3 day trekking trip this weekend with our new volunteer Gloria. We climbed the highest peak in Mae Hong Son province, Doi Pui; learned how to cook (and basically survive) with only bamboo; and stayedd in two very small Karen villages, Ban Hua Hee and Ban Hua Koong, with two very sweet families. I also got to ask questions about traditional weaving which I was pretty excited about. It was a lot of fun!

These are pics from on the trail - boiling water in bamboo; lunch complete with bamboo bowls and cups (made right there in the jungle) and rice in banana leaves; the two little guys were from the village and joined us on our hike up Doi Pui and Gloria making her way through the jungle.
