Photo Tour
We took a bus ride today to take some pictures of "typical" street scenes. The following photos are from a market about a 10 minute bus ride from our house. The school holiday just ended so the bus was crowded with school kids. We were hanging onto the overhead bar trying not to drop Eliza out the open door! A nice girl gave Claire her seat. At the market, people were interested in and amused by us and Tom did a good job practicing Thai. We bought some mango sticky rice to taste and donuts and oranges for later. It's too bad you can't smell the aromas of burning charcoal, fish, and exhaust.
After the market we ate at what we refer to fondly as "our" noodle shop. It's an easy walk from our house, so we eat there about three times a week. Tom had the fried noodles and Claire ate basil chicken.
I couldn't resist including this one of the girls this week at one of their favorite places- the ball pit at the supermarket.

Jacob is in awe at your "grocery store". He says Hi to the girls and he would love to join them in the ball pit. He is asking if we can go to your house.:)

Yes, Blessed are the meek. . .a trait not valued much by evangelicals. Does this beattitude parallel gentleness in Gal. 5:22? Enjoyed the scenes around town. How about three pictures from you home; one straight ahead across the street, one down the street to the right, and one to the left.

Looks like a day in Thailand is colorful even if the sun isn't shining. :)
