The Adventures of Yard Elf


A lot of people thought when Carolyn was over here a week ago, there were 2 of us on the trip. In fact...there were 3! Meet our friend, Yard Elf. He's the one who guards my mom's yard and keeps away evil spirits, or some western equivalent. And he got to go on the trip of a lifetime!




He flew to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific Airways, in coach.








He shopped in Stanley Market, met some schoolkids in Hong Kong and rode the Star Ferry.







In Singapore, he visited the Botanical Garden, swam in the pool at Jae's place, hung out with Sammy and Janet, and visited some likely condemned bullfrogs in the Wet Market.

In Chiang Mai, Thailand, he enjoyed good luck charms, courtesy of the staff at the Puripunn Hotel. He rode in a tuk tuk and on an elephant! And, he attended Thai cooking school (he is next to my cutting board in the photo below. No accidents to report).






It was a really hot day in Bangkok but he did get to see some temples.

Then it was time for him to go back to Austin and resume his duties. I miss him a lot and hope he will post to the blog soon.
