The view of the bridge from the river raft restaurant down below is quite stunning especially when a train crosses the bridge. Unfortunately it does remind you of the pain, hunger and inhumane conditions which POW’s suffered in this very sad part of Thailand’s past.

My grand mother’s brother, Ricardo Gonzales, rode with The General Pancho Villa. In the Military Classics Illustrated (News Letter) there is a photo of My great uncle Ricardo on horseback along with Pancho Villa and about 5 or 6 other riders. My uncle is to Pancho Villas left. I have a photo of my uncle with Mrs Pancho Villa (Dona Luz) taken at La Quinta Manor where she lived until her death. The Villa’s manor is a museum in Chihuahua, MX. In the Military Classics Illustrated along with the photo of my uncle with Pancho Villa there is an article titled, The Villistas: Soldiers in Sombreros and Suit Coats By Don Fuchik.

We would like to know the cost of the Costa Rica trip. We live in Oaxaca, OAX, Mexico and would have to fly out of OAX. We went on your Copper Canyon trip several years ago and it was wonderful.
