Jon and Heather lounging by the pool, Chiang Mai.  Ahhh, I could get used to this.

Heather digging in to supper at the night market, Chiang Mai.  Not the bottle of Purel.

Heather kneeling in front of the altar in Wat (temple) Chedi Luang, Chiang Mai.  As you approach the altar you can not be higher than the Buddhas.  So you kneel, or crawl.

Heather being lowered to next platform zip-lining.

Heather and I with Tiger Panda, one of our 'Sky Guides'.

Heather and I with 'Bas', our lead 'Sky Guide'.  Quite the joker.  Thought it was funny to make out it was his first time zip-lining as well.

Ruins of original Wat on compound of Chedi Luang.  Damaged by an earthquake in 1465, once stood 295 ft high.

'Nagas' (protective serpents) at the base of the ruins of the original temple Chedi Luang.   Note the stone elephants above them.
