Thailand!!!

I have taken a long break from this blog to reflect on what I have seen so far. Anyway, a few days ago I went on a trekking trip in the Thai Jungle. The first day I had a great time because I saw new things. I saw the beautiful mountains with their awesome flora and fauna. It was great to walk through the rice fields and get mud on my shoes and feel the cool breeze that slowly moved the rice plants. The group I traveled with made it very exciting. We bonded really well on the tough times. We had blisters in our feet, we were really cold and hungry, but also celebrated by showering in the naturally occurring pools in the Jungle. I must say that the experience will leave a long lasting mark in my memory. As we got deeper into the Jungle, we began to hear more natural sound. Naturally occurring waterfalls and beautiful birds, and then after a days worth of walking, we ran into a small village. The small village was made up of 10 houses. These houses were really vulnerable to the elements, but they felt warm. The families living there greeted us as we walked into the town. I made my rounds though the village and observed what they did. The families were primarily farming and hunting families. They were separating rice from the plants. It was a great thing to see. Later at night the beautiful children sang songs to us. I have made a small recording of the beautiful voices from the small children who came to sing for us. I must say that I have been touched by this experience. Now...i must go..but more is coming up.
