After they settle in Chiang Mai, Joe buys two goats and brings them home, with disastrous results. On vacation in Bangkok, the whole family is stuck in a motel during a two-day revolution against the government! During a visit to a mountaintop Hilltribe village, Pat is honored with the slaying of a pig for dinner. Stories such as "Motorcycle Mama" and "Revolution" comprise this book of memories by Patricia Lidrich."--Back cover.
