Soon I will be leaving for Norway to celebrate the union of Kristian and Kristen!!! I can't wait. Here they are in their Norwegian national costumes. After the wedding, Lord-willing, I'll be exploring other Scandinavian and Baltic countries.

Deb and I are modelling these jackets that we had just purchased at a garage sale. Don't we look stylish?!!





A group of us from our International Church in Bangkok rode our bikes from Chiang Mai (Thailand 's second largest city, located in the North) to Bangkok. It was a really difficult trip, but the Lord gave our legs strength and we made it. Pictures: Along the way we stopped at the Lampang elephant hospital, me with my pollution mask as we begin to enter BKK, the great group of people, and all of us when we finished at the church.
