Updates

Sorry I have not blogged this week but I will give you a quick update... Monday (the kids got glasses at school)...it was really fun because 6 kids got glasses donated from a doctor to the school kids.. I am not explaining this well... the eye doctor came a couple weeks ago and tested all the kids' eyes and then made glasses for all of the kids that needed them... all donated...really cool). So they had a ceremony to give the glasses away. ( don't worry I will post pictures) Tuesday... we got ice cream at lunch for the kids it was fun. Wednesday... was movie day... we brought an American movie and candy for the kids... once again fun. Thursday..Burma.. white temple( extremely cool). Friday..nothing much to report. Saturday... learned about Buddhism from a monk...good Thai food..Thai message (AMAZING)... Thai movie (a little funny...a little weird)... night market ( great purchases)Sunday (today

The beauty of doing nothing much

This weekend we did nothing much... much like our week. On Saturday we went to the night market with our neighbor mom and we used the Internet. Then on Sunday we went to church, ate at an American restaurant (we have not had American food in a month)... so it was a treat... I had a burrito and MANGO CHEESECAKE... it was literally the best cheesecake I have ever had. It was so good. Normally in America I do not like mango but here it tastes so good.
Then we went to a market and home to eat dinner with our neighbors. These are my favorite kinds of weekends were you randomly ask your self...self what would I like to do now... read a book... oh OK let's do that. (In case you did not understand that last bit.. it was a conversation between me and myself)

Sick

Well I have this problem about me... if anyone is sick within 17 miles of me I will catch it. So one of the kids at school was sick and I caught it. So our week was pretty uneventful though extremely fun none the less. I love being sick from school. My neighbor mom is the so sweet she took care of me and bought me special surprises because I was sick... I totally ate it up. So we spent our days this week hanging out with MEE ( that ma in Thai)...it was really fun. Sam and I even got to paint some Thai umbrellas. Don't get me wrong I was actually sick... but we had fun as well with MEE.

We love the King!!!

This building is dedicated to the King and it is beyond beautiful.

Cool Cactus

This is a picture of a cactus at the Royal Flora garden. Our neighbors who took us here were very intrigued by the desert plants. I guess because it is not common to the tropical Thai climate. Our neighbors frequently laugh at us when we see something and get excited about it here in Thailand because it is so common to them. It was pretty fun seeing the tables turned and our friends get excited to see a bunch of cacti.

Soilless Plants are cool.
