LAMPANG - Friday, June 26

I'm writing this from our home in Pah Leurat, where we don't have a fast enough Internet connection to upload many hi-res images, but here are a few samples of treats to come.

After two days and nights in Chiang Mai, we set out early Friday morning to visit the Elephant Conservation Center in Lampang.



There we visited with Richard Lair, a close friend and a Californian who has lived and worked with these elephants for thirty years.



We were all intrigued, and Cam fell absolutely in love with the animals, particularly with this one baby boy.
