Whew!!! It's been really busy for the last few days!
Choir practices started this week. We only have two more weeks before the concert. I think we'll be okay, though. It's a good thing that the music students met during the semester because that took care of learning most of the pieces we are doing.
On Friday, Oil and I went shopping. We had a GREAT time. She showed me how to use the sky train and the boat system. Very handy to know!
On Friday night, Fon and I went to the airport to pick up Marcia and Kayla.
On Saturday, we headed south to the beach. Kajohn, Oil, and Fon and his wife came with us. We ate at a sea side restaurant. Fresh sea food is AMAZING!! Pictures to come later.
A Chinese temple was near the restaurant. There were also lots of monkeys at the monastery. Very cool.
That afternoon we headed towards Pattaya. We stopped at a small market and picked up some sticky rice and coconut in a bamboo stalk.
On the beach in Pattaya, they have rows and rows of umbrellas and chairs, and they just leave those up until the sun goes down. We had fresh coconut, the sticky rice, pineapple, and chicken. Very relaxing.
=============
Today, we went to Ayutthaya in the morning. We rode the elephants!
After lunch we went to Chatuchak, the weekend market. It was not crowded at all, which is not normal by any means...
...because the Red Shirts are protesting this weekend. Bow took us to Chinatown. When we tried to come back, we had to take the loooooonnnnng way around because we couldn't get through some of the streets due to the Red Shirts.
More detail to come later. I'm very tired, so this is very sparse....
