Our first Christmas party opportunity was at Colt’s school. When I first mentioned it to the head teacher, it seemed to me that it would be a “no go.” But, when we met with our small group we all lifted up the time that I would AGAIN ask them. . . and we went ahead […]
While we are in Thailand for 2 weeks renewing our visas, we took one day to go 1) see the Monkey School 2)The Orchid/Butterfly Farm 3) the Elephant Camp 4) and the Mae Sa Waterfalls. They were all super close together (hello tourists!). . . but that was a lot to do in one day! […]
Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! This is always such a good reminder to keep us in perspective. . .
This place was really neat! We went during the day, and there was hardly anyone else there! They also have a “Night Safari” where you can drive through and feed the animals. That is probably the big hit and crowded time. They had a huge outdoor and indoor play area for the kids, and tons […]
Our zoo experience was. . . Well, it was super hot and too hilly to walk, so we rode the trolley around from place to place. David had taken allergy medicine that he bought in Asia (for the first time), and was knocked out! He was so tired that he couldn’t even carry the kids […]
We had to leave country to renew our visas, which is something that you have to do once a year until you have a permanent visa platform. Actually, a the policy was extended to renewing every 10 years just 2 days after our visa was renewed (for 1 year). Ironic. So, we will be back […]
These are some sweet friends that I happened to make one day. I met Lulu (left) while she worked at the management office for our apartment complex. Since I could understand her pretty easily (some people have thick accents, speak super quickly/unclearly) I asked if she could do lunch sometime. She brought Echo (middle). . […]
A couple of weeks ago, I went out for a “girls’ night.” Whoo hoo! I went with my good friend Jean, and some other girls. We did a little window shopping, then met her mom who treated us all to dinner. You can see in the last picture that it was quite a feast! We […]
About a month ago, my friend Jean (on the right) and I met LuLu (on the far left) and Echo (middle). We have been out to lunch several times since then. Before, Lulu worked close by, but Echo would come across town for lunch because we are foreigners 🙂 We must be pretty interesting indeed! […]
This primary school is right outside of where I study language every day. I couldn’t resist taking pictures of the madness when school was let out. . . but we also weren’t able do much studying either because it was SO LOUD. They had music playing, all the kids voices, car horns blaring – notice […]
