After a "wonderful" night of sleep, I woke at 5 AM with a need for the "hole in the ground" outhouse. During my quiet time in the shed, a delightful little field mouse found it time to join me and scamper across the bamboo about a foot from my head. It was a moment with nature that I could have done without. The rest of the day was spent rafting, swimming in the river, and racing/splashing the other raft. The sun was out in full force, and it was a great trip. 2 days rafting, accomodations (if you call a bamboo hut "accomodations"), all meals, drink, and guides for $50. Most rafting trips anywhere I've done is $60-$80, just for a single day. Get out here while the dollar's still strong enough!
We were dropped in Mae Hong Son, another small village in the Northern Mountains. Only about 15 km from Burma. We met our new friend Angel from Hong Kong for dinner, and off to bed...
