Shopping, golfing and elephants

Hello from Chiang Mai!

We arrived here from Siem Reap 2 days ago and have been spending our time shopping and golfing. We went to this great course just 20 minutes away from our hotel and it was awesome... well mostly awesome. It seems that all the left handed clubs for rent at most golf courses are at least 10 years old, and made for short people. Now I know what your gonna say, he is blaming his poor score on the clubs, but really, they were short... almost 2 full inches shorter than Catherines shiney new righthanded clubs. I did manage to compensate though and started using my 3 iron off the tee and left the driver in the bag, and managed a 52 on the back 9 holes... 3rd round of the year... I'll take it.

Anyways, I thought I better get a new post up, becuase I wont have a chance for the next three days. Why you ask? Well because we are going to hang out with elephants! We had planned to visit the elephant reserve while we were up here, and maybe spend the afternoon on a ride through the jungle, but then we found out we could stay at the reserve and learn to clean, feed and train the elephants while we stayed there. We figured that we might never have a chance to do this again, so we set it up and we head there tomorrow morning. I doubt we will have internet access there, but we get back to Chiang Mai on Monday and we will post pics and maybe video of our trip then. If you want to check out their website you can find it at: http://www.changthai.com, it looks pretty amazing.


But it is getting late here tonight and theres still some packing left to do, so we will chat with you all when we get back.
