photo of the week - (koh chang)

Annie and I took an elephant ride while visiting Koh Chang Island in Thailand. Chang means Elephant in Thai and we had a very enthusiastic Burmese driver who was happy to take this photo. The elephant's name was Sunshine and she was always looking to stop for a snack. Annie eventually got a chance to ride on her head and drive the elephant. The farm we visited had 12 elephants and they were all females because they tend to be easier to control.

photo of the week - (krabi)

We were MIA of late enjoying our vacation but have had the request for more photos and so Annie and I decided to try something new. We are calling it the photo of the week. Each week we will pick our favorite photo to share with everyone and also tell the story behind the photo. This will keep people up to date a little more as to what is going on and also allow us to post a little more regularly to our main blog.

This week's photo was taken by Annie during our snorkel trip from Krabi in southern Thailand. One of the staff on the boat was snorkeling and was feeding the fish near the boat. Annie happened to be near and snapped a photo of the fish. The feeding caused quite a frenzy among the fish. There were so many fish around that you were able to catch a fish with your bare hands. 

I also posted new photos from Malaysia in the photo section and if all goes according to plan, I will have the Malaysia recap video up very soon. Keep reading and sending comments, it makes us feel good.
