News, notes and anecdotes about our life with the Akha hilltribe

Thank you for taking the time to view Journey Notes - our online journal. In this Journal you can read about Paul and Lori's experiences living in Northern Thailand as we work with the Akha Hilltribe.

Please also take a look at our prayer and praise reports and our personal blogs from the links on top of this page for more updates from us in this adventure. You can also visit our homepage at to view our bios, photo galleries, newsletters and a little information about the Akha hilltribe (more to come the more we learn - we're still new at all this).

Now... on to the posts!

Welcome John B!

Friday, November 9, 2007

That's right, the founder and creative genius behind the internationally renowned Flying Hippo Project has graced us with his presence for the entire month of November.

We've had a great time with him in his first week with us - spending time in Chiang Rai, Mae Salong and Chiang Mai - and he's been documenting the whole trip on his hand held camcorder.

So, if you are looking for a fresh, new-generation interpretation of our lives here in Thailand - go take a look at the videos John has posted at the Flying Hippo Project.

*** for those of you who are quickly overwhelmed by MySpace pages - the videos are down and to the left***
