Thailand Adventure Day!! - June 13
Sean and I had the best day today! We started off by going to a local butterfly farm. That is one of the things that is most beautiful about Thailand, there are colorful butterflies everywhere, they look like flying gemstones. Co-located with the butterfly farm was an orchid farm.
Next we rode on an elephant.
This is what an elephant looks like when you are on one and feeding them a banana:
We hiked into the jungle and made this waterfall our destination:
And then we went whitewater rafting. It was not as exciting as when I went with Marissa in Oregon, but was very interesting being in the jungle!
And to finish off the day we went down the rest of the river on a bamboo raft:

So, is that Huck Finn style rafting, or are you preparing to spear a fish?
Just kidding!
Looks like an adventure, can't wait to see the rest of the photos!
Yeah, I guess it's Huck Finn style -- it's a pole that you use to steer the raft by pushing on the riverbed. It was hard to keep it from getting sideways in the current by oversteering because the raft was about 1.5m wide by 10m long.
