Weekend Wanderings

This past weekend was fun. David, the other evening teacher, my roomate, and I went away with a couple of the evening English students for a weekend. Gift, one of David's students invited us to her cousin's house for the weekend. A bunch of her family was there for the weekend, so we got to meet them and hang out with them a bit. It was fun chillin' with a Thai family, in a Thai house. We went to the beach, climbed through the hills, found a waterfall to swim in, and toured the market for dinner. The language barrier created plenty of comedy, and we all (farong and Thai alike) spent a lot of time laughing. Gift's cousin invited us back for the fruit festival in a couple of months. Of the three farong on the trip I will be the only one still in the country, but I think it would be fun to go. It was nice being in real Thailand. There were no tourists anywhere we went. We were just part of the family we were with. It was fun.
