It sort of worked, just an hour late.  We were still able to catch the 8:00 bus to Sukhothai, so it all worked out.  The ride took about 5 hours and we were able to find a lovely guest house  out of the Lonely Planet called to TR Guest House with an air-conditioned room for 350 Baht.  We were both sore and tired so we decided to would take it easy for the rest of the day.  We asked the owner for a restaurant recommendation and he decided he would just take us in his car.  No one in this place spoke English and fortunately a lot of the menu had pictures, so we ordered Pad Thai, chicken soup and a noodle dish (which I think was local to Sukhothai).  It was all very good and really cheap.  We spent the rest of the afternoon reading and using the internet on the porch of the guest house.Then next morning Scott and I were ready to go by 7 am even without an alarm . I guess its because we have been going to bed so early and there doesn't seem to be too much to do here after the sun goes down. For breakfast I tried the famous banana pancakes and Scott had pineapple pancakes.After breakfast, we took a bus to the Old City Historical Park entrance and decided to rent a moped for the day to see the sites. We rented one from a nearby coffee shop for 140 Baht. Although neither of us had ever driven a moped, it turned out to be pretty easy and and a great way to get around the Historical Park.After seeing some of the ruins, we found a local street market and decided to have lunch at one of the stands. At the stand we choose, there didn't seem to be any kind of menu and the cook didn't seem to know what to do with two Americans. Finally someone sitting nearby ordered two pork noodle soups for us. It turned out to be absolutely delicious and only 30 Baht total. What a deal!After lunch we went back to the guest house and decided to catch a bus to Lampang. Once arriving in Lampang we took a shared taxi to the Riverside Guest House, a teak housing with small but adequate rooms. We had dinner at a nice restaurant on the river, bought a watch (finally), and went to the pharmacist for some medicine for the large rash on Scott's leg. Although the pharmacist didn't really speak much English he gave Scott some ointment, so hopefully that will help.Scott on the scooter we rentedBuddhas in the Old CityMe driving the scooter.

Local bus drivers are a bit more daring on the road than I feel comfortable with, but we made it to the entrance of the Center in one piece.  A small tour bus was nice enough to give Scott and I (and our huge backpacks) a ride to the center of the camp, 1.5 kilometers away.  After signing some paperwork we were asked to change into out Mahout suits and were introduced to our elephants.  My elephant was a 7 year old girl named Jan-na.  Scott's, one of the largest elephants here in the camp, was named JoJo.  We got to learn some commands, bath them in the river, and watch the real Mahouts perform with the elephants in the tourist show.  In the afternoon we rode one of the "taxi" elephants, which were rescued logging elephants after logging became illegal in Thailand.  These elephants were not as friendly as the performing elephants and therefore, became taxi elephants here at the camp.  After the last performance, we took out elephants into the jungle for the night to eat and relax.Our cabins were located amongst the Mahouts and other camp workers.  We were told that they have to leave their families for many months at a time and have to build their our cabins in the camp.  Back in our cabins we showered (we even had hot water and toilets), napped, and helped cook dinner in the outdoor kitchen.  The other guests at the camp included a British couple living in Singapore, and older Australian couple, and two girls from Germany.The next morning one of the mahouts knocked on our door at about 6:00 am to put on our wet mahout suits and get our elephants from the jungle. It was a lot harder climbing up the hill than it was yesterday on the back of Jan-na. After finding Jan-na pretty close to where we left her (we did chain them up), we brushed her off and bathed her in the river on the way back to the show grounds. When we got back to our rooms we found nice fresh, dry suit to wear. What a treat! We all washed off, dressed, and sat down for breakfast. Then it was back to the show grounds for training and bathing. In the afternoon we went to tour the elephant hospital.  The students and some mahouts prepared dinner for us again and we noticed that they were preparing some thing different for themselves. They let us try some frog leg soup, but the rest looked way to spicy for me.On the last day at the Elephant Conservation Center  we were able to help perform in the morning tourist show with our elephants. By this time my legs and rear were pretty sore from riding Jan-na, but it was worth it. I was sad that we had to go.  Simon and Alisa, the British couple, let us share their taxi back to the main road so we could catch the local bus back to Lampang. After sitting at the bus stop for 45 minutes I was getting pretty worried, when finally a green local bus came around the bend.Back in Lampang, we got the same taxi driver to to take us back to the Riverside Guest House. This time they only had air-conditioned rooms left, I was annoyed at first, but it turned out to be totally worth 600 Baht. Our room was much bigger and had a lovely window and off course the air was great.  A Crazy taxi man charged us 500 baht to take us to Wat Phra That Lampang Lung. I think he was totally lost on the way back and dropped us off in the middle of a huge street market. We wondered around and realized we were not to far from the guest house. We tried some sticky coconut candy and some other street vender foods. We also found a bowling alley, so we decided to play a game.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5666706850165378133-8703060116462124548?l=courtneyaroudntheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5666706850165378133/posts/default/8703060116462124548'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5666706850165378133/posts/default/8703060116462124548'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://courtneyaroudntheworld.blogspot.com/2006/11/thailand-day-6-8-elephant-camp.html' title='Thailand - Day 6-8: Elephant Camp'/><author><name>8wlXcB3j</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09477156230738376926</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666706850165378133.post-119783538604823066</id><published>2006-02-01T22:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-10-28T22:12:11.911-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Morelia, Patzcuaro, Monarch Sancuary</title><content type='html'>Scott and I went to Morelia, Mexico to visit our friend Michael who is doing research on indoor air pollution from cooking in some of the villages nearby.  Its actually really interesting.  Many of the people in these villages are still using open fire for cooking.  They are trying to implement a new fire buring stove with a flue so these people dont breath in so much smoke and Michael is testing the effects of these new stoves.  This is the Catherdral in Morelia.  Its suppose to be the most beautiful in all of Mexico.  Downtown Moreila  Hiking to see the Monarch's at the Sierra Chincua Santuary Lots of butterflies  Angangueo, one of the town on the way back from the butterfly sanctuary.  Here's everyone.  We were lucky to be able to stay with Michael's friends Cynthia and Alfredo.  They were wonderful hosts.     Patzcuaro is a city close to Moreila. It is famous for the hand crafts that they make in the region including wood, copper, straw, silver, among others. Island close to Patzcuaro.  We climbed up to the top, into that giant statue.Juice in a bag. Jummy Jummy!  While Michael was doing research in Comachuen he came across Dona Nacha's.  She runs a small restaraunt in here kitchen.  We were lucky to be able to visit Comachuen and eat lunch at Dona Nachas.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5666706850165378133-119783538604823066?l=courtneyaroudntheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5666706850165378133/posts/default/119783538604823066'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5666706850165378133/posts/default/119783538604823066'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://courtneyaroudntheworld.blogspot.com/2006/02/morelia-patzcuaro-monarch-sancuary.html' title='Morelia, Patzcuaro, Monarch Sancuary'/><author><name>8wlXcB3j</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09477156230738376926</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
