Ban Pong Town Scenes
Sep. 5 - At this point we had run out of time, energy & ability to upload more albums... We moved in to the town of Ban Pong, finished with our last Nursing College class on the 4th, said our "goodbyes" and left the Ban Pong area on Saturday, September 6th. We then had some time to play tourist before leaving for California on September 25. Now that we are back in California, we will try to select, process and upload photos from the subsequent days in Thailand and neighboring countries. We will not be doing this chronologically, so check back frequently and scan below for active links (blue underlined).
