Our travel friends

We are traveling with ten others: 3 Brits, 4 Canadians ,1 Irishman, 1 Portuguese, and 1 Aussie and our Cambodian guide. What a fun group of people! We are all mixing so well! Here we are in Lao.

Bangkok

after 26 plus hours travel from Seattle, we landed in Bangkok! We are 14hours ahead of Boise time. Yesterday, we went by tuk tuk to many temples . Traffic is insane, our eyes are burning from pollution, but we love this place. last night we went to Chinatown and had a wonderful dinner for 3$!

Trip To Indochina

The hats were provided by our friends, Connie and Larry Seitz. They are getting us prepped for our upcoming trip.

We leave Monday, January 9th and arrive at 11pm January 11th...24 hours on a plane. I hope they allow jogging in the aisles! Bangkok is 14hours ahead of Boise time.

The blog will be more of a challenge as we are doing it on our ipad and don't quite know how to sync it yet. Hope it works!

Lonesome Dove RV Ranch Joe Jones

The best thing about Lonesome Dove are the people. Every Friday night the owner,Joe, barbeques wild game, brisket, turkey or whatever, Everyone meets for one expansive Texas barbeque. Twenty-four people live there full time and many of the others are Canadians or Northerners who come year after year. They have something going every night: cards, bonfires, potlucks. The girls even go line dancing on Friday mornings!

Seminole Canyon Pictographs and Petroglyphs

The photos don't really show how amazing these pictures are. They are some of the most colorful that we have ever seen. They had been in a sheltered cave so have been fairly well preserved.

Piedras Negras, Mexico

The border along the Mexican side has a very nice walkway along the Rio Grande. We were the only gringos we saw this Saturday afternoon. Lots of people are spooked about going to the border towns. This town of 100,000 felt safe to us. At the reservation there were Border Patrol trucks and  Kickapoo police everywhere.

The plaza across from the cathedral has some wonderful sculpture.

The end of the earth??

So Bob says I told you when we married that I would take you to the ends of the earth, but I didn't realize one of the places would be Kickapoo Indian Reservation! We were camped two weeks in the parking lot of the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino near Eagle Pass, Texas. We can see the Rio Grande and Mexico from the parking lot.

We had wild chickens running around and dogs chasing cars as we watched from our "yard" chairs. This was an experience we won't soon forget!
