We are just getting the news from the Globe and Mail website about the disaster in Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. It has been hard for us to know the news exactly because the TV stations are in Thai where we are now in Chiang Khong. This is in the north which is a long way away from Phuket and other areas in the south of Thailand where the tsumani hit. It seems that about 400 people died and there is much damage.
Anyway, we will send another post in the next day or two and tell you how we spent Christmas. We were with Nancy Peters and she is fine as well, although she just left us to return to Chiang Mai to deal with contacting parents of the Trent students who are travelling in Thailand over the holidays.

Glad to hear that you were safe in light of the recent disaster. We just found out yesterday about the earthquake, and were concerned as to whether or not you were in that part of Thailand. Hope that your Christmas went well; ours certainly did. We are in the middle of a huge blizzard right now, and it's nice to actually have some snow around for the holidays. On the other hand, it must also be nice to be in the vacinity of beautiful beaches when you know your relatives are freezing back in old Nova Scotia!
Looking forward to hearing from you again regarding your holidays.
