Natalia - Major attraction!

Seth and Lauren told us that people stop them in the store and kiss Natalia - without saying a word to them. But we didn't get it until we saw it for ourselves. Here is Natalia at the Bhutan exhibit within the flower festival, where she became the major attraction - see this 2-minute video clip!

More from Chiang Mai

Here are some more pics from Chiang Mai.

We've had such a marvelous time - Seth and Lauren have been our personal escorts the entire week.

Here we are with a monk at a chapel near Wat Saket at the Golden Mount in Bangkok. This new sanctuary is being built by a matron whom we call Oprah - because she bears a physical and spiritual resemblance. Here is a short video.

in Chiang Mai with Seth and Lauren (and Natalia)

We've been in Chiang Mai Thailand since Wednesday, visiting Seth and Lauren and 9-month old Natalia. Lots of stories to tell.

Here are some early pics.

Sharman in Bangkok prior to Chiang Mai. She's a lioness!

Little improv portrait at the flower festival in Chiang Mai. The flowers were gorgeous - it's a world-class festival that runs a couple of weeks.

Sharm with Seth and Natalia at the Elephant Camp. More later on those elephants.

At the Queen's Garden above the Elephant Camp. Beautiful mountain drive.
