Fun Buds

Some towns you wait for railroad crossing.  Here it's a a flock of sheep.

Mae Lid

I have spent the past two weeks working with the lovely people in Mae Lid, at a hill tribe school, in the north of Thailand.  Their warm hospitality and friendly smiles keep me coming back.  I enjoy doing dentistry with smiles on wings.  

On The Menu

Sometimes foreign menus come up with surprise names.  Here are a few funny names. 

"Carlic"

I was helping a friend find powdered garlic.  After a while of searching we finally found it, Under C for "carlic".

Back in Thailand

I have returned to Thailand, to work in dentistry in the northern hill tribes, specificly Maelid.  Food is a big part of life that we miss in Thailand.  I plan to eat my way through the next few weeks.  Today I tried "barking deer" a delicious deer meat dish.  

We stopped at a national forest to enjoy a hike and the views on our way up to the north.

Small piles of rocks stacked neatly upon each other.

The kids loved their new toys and clothes!  Proper thanks to follow.

Cookies for Santa

We have a family tradition on Christmas Eve, hosting the kids friends and decorating cookies for Santa and  putting up NORAD to track Santa, while drinking Egg Nog and Mulled cider.  We had a lot of fun this year with our friends here in Amman.
