We are currently on our way to Pai, Thailand to teach English. We will be the honored guest speakers at a 30 hour English course for the district court staff of this tiny thai town. This van ride has given us an opportunity to reflect on our last week.
Last Monday, we took our day off and used it for a date night. Kara and I went to eat at "Tex Mex", a little Mexican resturaunt right here in Chiang Mai that actually serves us cuisine resembling Dallas Mexican food. We are still looking for that pot of gold that makes food like we had in San Antonio. After dinner we walked around the market near the resturaunt. Then we called it a night.
Tuesday was a typical day without any extra activities. We teach English on most days from 3-6.
Wednesday, we taught English at the zone as usual, and then went to the Gethsrmene Children's Home to teach and sing songs with the kids.
Thursday, we bought a motorcycle!
Friday, we had cell group and ate some amazing kaow soy. It's a red curry soup with noodles and topped with crunchy stringy things.
Saturday, we relaxed in the morning, and then went to eat homemade Chinese food and study the bible.
Sunday we had worship, taught an English class, got a massage, played volleyball at the international school, and finally watched White House Down at the church. Also, I learned to order my food "piset", which means "extra". This new word has helped me to get the Texas sized portions I'm used to when we go out to eat.
Yesterday, we took our new motorcycle to the mountains. We went to see a waterfall and then drove up and down a sweet mountain road, stopping at overlooks along the way. It was a very nice ride that I hope to make often.
And now, we are in a van on the road to Pai. This road is rumored to have 709 curves before arriving in Pai, but I don't plan on counting.
Until next time,
