Hello all!
Thank you for all your comments! I love hearing from you! I've been busy here, and the next few weeks will be crazy, I'm sure!
Just thought I would post a little update and tell you a few stories . . .
The other night we were heading back from the Night Market with Tutu. She was driving her son Daniel's car, a Honda Jazz (I think) and we got stopped during a routine traffic checkpoint. The police looked at us through the windows with little flashlights, and then made Tutu pull over to the side of the road . . . yeah, a little scary. I won't lie, my heart was beating, but I was really glad Tutu was driving and answering all the questions. Apparently, that type of car is frequently stolen, so they were just stopping all those cars and checking driver's licenses. An interesting experience, for sure!
Another fun story involves LICE. Yes, people, lice. I had a lice scare. Don't worry, I DON'T HAVE LICE! One of the interns, Rosie, has been deemed "lice girl" because she is fighting lice on and off. She has been buying lice shampoo and the little comb . . . I had a moment of itchiness, and I did use the shampoo and comb, but NO LICE FOR ME! Yay! It's the norm here for the kids to have lice, so they don't even freak about it, but us Americans recoil at the very mention of the word. :)
HAHA! Good times! Let's see . . . it's Thursday afternoon and we just sent most of the Virginia group to the airport. It's more of a relaxing day!
Yesterday was really fun! We went to Carrefour and got our hair washed and dried for only 5 bucks! It was much needed, I'm afraid. I don't use a blow dryer here, so bad hair days are the norm. At Carrefour, I helped Kris pick out her wedding outfit, and around 5 we left for the Wang Torn (sp?) Resort where Kris and Pat renewed their wedding vows. It was soooooo beautiful! It is their 20th anniversary, so it was really special they could be here to renew their vows and have their "Thai family" there! I was a bridesmaid, which was fun because we all held fans! So pretty. After the ceremony (and cake--yum) we went to see the kids at the orphanage and then headed to the Night Market "one last time" to eat and for the group to spend the last of their baht! It was a fun night--I ate at Subway, which was ok. They didn't have any pickles, so it was an odd tasting sandwich, but edible. At least it wasn't rice!
Well, anyway, enjoy the pics--I only have time to post a few! I miss you!

I would like to thank the academy and all of the little people who helped get to where I am today. . . I have lice and flea scares all the time!! But after you told me about hairspray keeping them away I figure I am safe with all of the product I use :) I really don't have anything to comment since I got to comment to you for real!! Love You!!
Well, if you come home with a shaved head we will know why! When you mentioned the lice comb it reminded me of when we were kids and mother had to check us for lice with that wretched comb! I love you!
