back by popular demand

It has been a busy few weeks. Hopefully we will be able to update this blog more thoroughly soon, but for now a quick update of our travels.
We hitchhiked through Japan on a mission to see Mason's father's painting of an old Japanese village. We were successful and afterward quickly booked tickets to Bangkok. We spent a few days in Bangkok then traveled north to Chiang Mai, a popular tourist point close to the mountains of Thailand. We trekked for a few days in the mountains, enjoying the forest and hills that the urban areas we have been in cannot replicate. After Chiang Mai we went down to the islands of Thailand attempting to enjoy the paradise many other backpackers seek while in Thailand. We were met by rain every day unfortunately and Mason developed a fever. We are now at the border of Thailand and Cambodia waiting for our visas into Cambodia.
Hopefully Internet access will be cheaper in Cambodia so we can update better. Either way please feel free to email with questions or updates of your own. We'd be glad to hear from you.
