Leaving the Border

We leave this morning from the Burmese border headed to the Hmong refugee camp. We have had a wonderful couple of days here and really do hate to have to leave. We love it here and would love to live here, but it is so remote that we couldn't get to the airport or to the hospital, and the past couple of years we have spent a lot of time at the hospital. Getting old is not for wimps. Getting old in a third world country is really not for wimps. Yesterday we drove about 40 minutes and spent half a day at a beautiful waterfall and park. It was very jungley. We expected to see Tarzan, but he never showed. Too bad. We were able to take some good video and photos and had a nice picnic with the folks who are getting the work going here. I will finish this post when we arrive in Bangkok. We won't have internet access at the Hmong camp. Next week we fly to Chiang Mai for a few days. We will meet this couple up there. They need to get away from here for a few days. It is pretty intense up here at times. Never a dull moment in this place.
