The last 2 weeks

First of all, sorry for our absence.  We have been super busy these last two weeks since we got back from Pai.  I will attempt to catch you up on our lives in this post.  We have past the one month mark here in Thailand and things just keep getting better.  Here are some photos that we took during our first two weeks in Thailand.

Pai was a lovely town.  We spent Sep 10-16 there.  Our main purpose for going to Pai was to teach English to the court staff of about 15 people.  We taught in the evenings from about 4-8.  We also stayed in a resort with them so that we could hang out and talk after hours.  We toured the beautiful mountain town during the mornings on the motorcycle furnished by the court.  Here are some pictures of our time in Pai.

A geyser.... They sell eggs at roadside stands nearby and people stick them into the water in baskets connected to sticks to hard boil them.  Try that at Yellowstone!

After we returned from Pai, we came back to Chiang Mai on the most curvy road I have ever traveled.  We settled into our routine of teaching English, Visiting the Gethsemane Children Home and hanging out with students.  

There was major development that occurred shortly after we returned to Pai.  We learned to make tortillas!  It's really not hard.... just some flour, salt, garlic, and oil.  We are having a great time eating some true Mexican food.  

This is chaampoo helping us make tortillas.  She is the daughter of the cleaning lady at the zone.

This week, we went to Gethsemane on Monday to help them pour some concrete for an entrance gate that they are going to install.  

I hope to visit Gethsemane more often to help out with construction and maintenance projects.  

Until next time,
