Stephen thought it was funny to find ice scrapers in Thailand.
We also visited the mall one day, along with a lot of other motorbikes.
After about seven months without a keyboard or piano, the one in the store was quite appealing.
And so were the blenders. So we bought one! And made these dragonfruit smoothies later.
On Saturday night, we went to see a movie! We saw Captain America, which a) turned out to be pretty good, but perhaps because of my low expectations going in and b) was a little odd to watch among so many Thais, with many American culture jokes and an anthem to the king at the beginning.
It was fun.
There were other treasures to purchase in Chiang Mai. After just six months here and already breaking 11 of our starting 18 glasses, we splurged $6 on the super strong version.
And Stephen’s big purchase: red pants!
Pretty fun until I forgot about them, came home and threw them in the wash. The inside of all his other pants (the waistband & pockets) are now pink. And quite a few other things.
I suppose it had to happen sometime, but perhaps now, when we can’t replace most of what was dyed, wasn’t the best timing!
We also went to hike at Doi Suthep, the mountain to the west of Chiang Mai.
It was hot.
And beautiful.
We also drove up Doi Suthep for orientation with the team a few days later. And it was still beautiful 🙂
Sounds like you enjoyed some needed downtime and refreshment. Ice scrapers in Thailand? Are you kidding? And what a different view of a mall parking lot from the US. I loved the pants Stephen! I wanted to buy some shorts about the same color in Colorado last month, but mom didn’t like them and said no…
Great pictures. Thanks for sharing them with us!
You guys look great Love the pics I would like to say we did some hiking last week in the Grand Canyon, but no it was too hot for us. Just some rafting and site seeing.
Yay for pictures!
I really enjoyed seeing the pictures and catching up a little with the two of you. Sure hope and pray that Kelli is over the ear infection.
