Yesterday was my first trip to Prohibition Taproom in what my friend informed me was the “Loft District.” It was a great time. The bar was not too busy and the atmosphere was easy going.

Enjoy and let [...]
Burma (or is it Myanmar?)
We drove up to the border town of Mae Sai to cross into Burma for a little sightseeing, shopping, and lunch. Other than having a different language, it wasn’t all that different from Thailand. It is surely a very poor country and the sellers in the market are very pushy to sell you stuff. The [...]
