The pics are in reverse order, but I'm not going to bother correcting it as I'm sitting in a coffee shop.
We arrived yesterday about 9am, Chiang Mai time. The kids slept about 1.5 to 2 hours, but they did well. After arriving, we did the regular getting our luggage, answering what is in the contents of the bags (clothes, books and GOP bumper stickers-j/k).We went to our place, dropped our stuff off and were taken to a local mall where we had some pizza around lunch time. We were able to pick up a few groceries before heading back to the apartment and taking naps.
A and J were lovin' a little bath time fun! They haven't had a bath in a tub for five months. There was water EVERYWHERE, but I decided I wasn't going to care and just let them have FUN! G*d is really shaping me!
Our first dinner in Thailand was delivered by a new friend. She brought spaghetti, salad (iceberg lettuce!!!), bread and fruit punch! (Like I said-a new friend!!!)
Our first morning was spent enjoying strawberry milk and regular, white milk! There's also Jif beside the milk!
This yellow building is just a sand wedge away from our apartment gate. The building hosts "Mike's", a hot dog and burger joint. We knew about it before we came (It's supposed to be that good!), but would never have guessed it was that close!!! Please note how clean the streets are!
We have a balcony! And, this is the view we get to see every day! Literally, this is a breath of fresh air!
We've enjoyed our first full day. We attended a birthday pool party and enjoyed it thoroughly! Afterwards, we went to a food court and had some Thai food-$6 for the entire family! We don't have internet in our apartment, so we'll either have to go downstairs to the lobby. And if that's busy (which is the case tonight), we'll have to travel about five minutes away to a local coffee shop where we can, again, sip down a chocolate frappe and listen to more Roxette, Josh Groban or "A Whole New World" ("Aladdin")-quite a mix they've got goin' here!
