This was the group I hiked with. This is on our first day out, so we're all just a little tired. We also had asked Koko what the climb was like, and he had said, "Oh not bad. Just rolling a little bit. Not bad, really."Liar. Big fat Liar. Straight up would have been the correct answer.
According to Koko this is the Thai version of the Cliff Bar. It has carbs, protein, and sugar. It's sticky rice and beans cooked in bamboo. Mmmm.
Here I would like to note that I am wearing and carrying only one color: Green. My kids thought this was hilarious. I guess I need to branch out a little bit in my wardrobe.
And this is the one and only Koko. He was the best guide we could have asked for. He wore that smile day in and day out. I would, however, like you to note how much he is sweating for our "rolling hill" hike.

What are the little black things in the rice? They look like some sort of protein..... I am sure I could choke it down but I highly doubt Stacey could get beyond the look. You should bring home a few samples to see if we might be able to market it to the US Running community.

I think Stacey would like the rice! It's just coconut rice with black beans. Sweet and tasty!
However, it did takeme a full 10 minutes to crack the bamboo, so I'm not sure the running crowd is going to get into this one. "Quick, just throw me a bamboo stick..."
Yes! I love the green! I am so jelouse I miss backpacking it's so much fun especailly with you. I hope we can go again.
