Happy New Year, everyone. We’re a bit later than the folks back in the States, so I’ll let everyone know what the new year will be like, since I’ll see it first. Mut Mee Guesthouse is having a river bank bbq tonight, so I’ll be attending that but probably going to bed at my normal time–10 p.m.
Latest news indicates the tsunami death toll is approaching 140,000–will it never end?
Went motor bike riding along the river today without killing myself! It was a very lovely day, in contrast to Montana’s below zero weather and snow. I went a little off the beaten track at one point and rode through this very small, rural village. What friendly people! 90% of those who saw me waved and said “Hello,” in English. Lots of kids and some older people, too.
Gotta go and return the motor bike. Again, Happy New Year!
