thailand, day 2

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Okay, I was obviously tired last night...
too much information.
I guess with my memory, it's good to include all the details.
I did spare you the bathroom trips. Which were fun.

Anyhow, let's get on with Day 2!

Visit Doi Suthep Temple (famous & beautiful mountaintop temple--where Brad & I had to rent pants!)

Brad & Unc

Abby had no one pay any attention to her.
HA.
It's a rough life!
Daddy & Abby

Feeding the horse

Lunch at the lake; a fun, "Thia" style outing

Okay, a little old lady comes by with all these crazy looking snacks.
She hands Pistismai some things,
and this is one that she chooses.
Quail eggs. Out of a lady's bag.
Hmmmm...
guess who loved them?
Abby was addicted. We finally had to make her stop eating them.
She had to have fish sauce with it too!
{good thing I found quail eggs at Home Plus last week...I'm a hero!}
In it goes...probably #7! :)
Isn't this the greatest?
We just love eating outside...
and how fun to be in a little hut right on the lake!
Abby's handiwork


Visit Kim's house

Here are their motorbikes!
You have to have one of these in Thailand.
I have to say,
this is the first place I really ever wanted to ride one.
The most hilarious thing about it,
is that whole families ride on them...together.
It was not uncommon to see the dad, mom & 2 kids pass by you.
Or to see dad taking his 3 kids to soccer practice.
Wild.
BUT, I have to say the culture there is different.
They look for the motorbikes & there just wasn't as much angry driving.
I liked it.
What would I do without road rage?
Well, I better not find out now...
it's a necessity in Korea! :)
Cute little house...
Looking out the front doors...
The Thai-style kitchen...open air on both ends
Feeding the fish!

Short city tour...which turned into going for ice cream!



Here is one of our concoctions!
It had some interesting add-ons.
The girls were not impressed! :)
Here is Pistismai's...
let's just say it was SWEET.
The girls really enjoyed her treat!!
Sugar rush, baby!


Back to the hotel for a rest...hahahaha. We skipped this part--if they didn't nap in the car, they didn't nap!


Sunday Walking Street Market--I will go on & on about how I loved this place. Just accept it now. The shopping in Thailand was more fun that I can describe. Could have something to do with Pistismai, but we did pretty well on our own too!
{we also *lost* Bunny Bunny here!}








Noticed I don't have a lot of pictures with Beks today. I'll do better tomorrow!

Bloggy love,

Wow! Now I can see why you wish you had gone last year! Are you going to raise quail back in the state?? Looks like the girls were having a great time. Not to hard to see why Abby loves Pistismai! I want to go next time! :)
