A Different Kind of Valentines Day


It was a different kind of Valentines Day for me. I found myself in Northern Thailand in a remote Lahu hill-tribe village. The purpose of this two day trip was for Pete and his co-workers at the Mekong Minority Foundation to teach various village leaders/pastors how to properly vaccinate their water buffalo and cattle. The people and setting will make it an experience I will not soon forget.

Kurt,

I'm incredibly impressed that you were able to use the trip as an excuse to not have to buy into the artificial day known as Valentine's Day!!! Well done and be sure to bring the tradition back to North America.

By the way, you're in the "Golden Triangle" area; you could always surprise Kerri with a bouquet of opium flowers!!
