Posted on January 1, 2018 by Anthony

The Night Before the Cycling Begins

Posted on December 4, 2017 by Anthony

My first night in Thailand featured a chance to experience Thai street food. Of course, no vacation meal would be complete without some beer. The group for this trip is much smaller than the Vietnam trip.  There are only four … Continue reading →
