A River Runs Through It




Well after our return from the mountains and our singing debut, we left Mae Hong Son. On our way out of the city, we went up to Serenity Point to have a cup of coffee. There is nothing more relaxing then a good cup of coffee overlooking a beautiful city.

We drove about 5 hours through winding roads and more switchbacks than I have ever seen. I know my sister knows exactly what I mean.


We stopped at a sleepy town on the Burma border, Mae Sariang. Since it is the off season, finding a room was easy and they are much less expensive as well! Needing a little downtime, I was thrilled to have a quiet room overlooking the Yuam River.


It was so peaceful and it gave me the opportunity to sit, read and contemplate and while staring at the river, an idea came to mind. Forget contemplation, let's go kayaking!






So we took a leisurely two and a half hour trip down the river and marveled at the view. Our guide's name was Bobby (is that an every day Thai name?) and while he was having a little difficulty pronouncing my name, he exclaimed, "oh your name is the same as the manager of the WWE". That he could say clearly. You can't make this stuff up!

But with all of the beauty that surrounded me and the peace and serenity that Mae Sariang has to offer, my favorite part has to be the sign for the men's room. Look closely!



Until tomorrow.................
