Buffalo

Buffalo, originally uploaded by Robbi Baba.

Back at the Chiang Dao Nest I'd been strongly urged by the cook to try her soup with buffalo. It was all so new and exotic I'd really considered it. When we came upon these poor beasts in the back of this parked truck I was so happy I'd skipped the soup. I'm sure it was yummy indeed, but the Thai buffalo have a beauty and presence beyond that of the cows I've seen in the US. And I don't eat them either.
