Gone Trekking

Going on a trek for a few days, so you won't hear from me. I don't know how much of a trekking/camping kind of girl I am, but I'm going to plop myself into the jungles of Thailand and find out. We're going with a tour company. Should be interesting. There will be elephants and bamboo rafts and waterfalls involved.

I've noticed a change since I left home. Mostly it's in my wardrobe. I've invested in a pair of light cotton pants that are neither flattering nor expensive. I've started to dress for function rather than appearance. It's funny. I didn't think I would see the day when I look like a mismatched and somewhat frumpled backpacker. I don't plan on making it a habit when I get back to the States but until then, I'll be comfortable and blending in with the backpacker crowd!

PS Shaun and I have discovered that there is more than one type of snob. Most people think of snobs as people with money who live in "posh" neighborhoods (as our British roomies would describe). However, there are backpacker snobs. The kind of snobs that turn their noses up at technology and tour buses, and extra comforts of home like warm showers. I am definitely not one of them but there sure are a lot of those on the roads of Thailand.
