Photo update: Doi Chang and Fang

These are from my trip to the mountains during our week off. Sophie had to study for mid-terms so couldn't come.

ECHO: my friend Ruth's organization that she helped create infrastructure for. I finally got to see it a week after she moved back to Canada. :(

Neuy and I on our way back from ECHO. Had to take a pic cause the clouds were so amazing.

Lady's slipper orchid. They have hundreds of different colors. These are named after the Queen Mother.
