outa the villages

lots more to say but not right now, just returned from 3 weeks backpacking between 5 upland Karen hilltribe villages on the border of Thailand and Burma, maybe the coolest thing Ive ever done, a few moments below:

rats for dinner, derelict old telephone booths abandoned in the middle of the forest?, freshly smithed machetes, bamboo the wonder grass, rice threshing in the most beautiful cubicle known to man, puppies water buffalo chickens cows dogs cats snakes leeches lizards monkey yelps magpyes hawks (rumors about wild elephants and cattle killing big cats), enormous waterfalls, kids in the street (theres only one street), burmese cigars in the paddy fields because it is harvest time!

more to come, miss you all.
