On Nicolette’s last day in Bangkok, Sucharn took us to possibly the most famous tourist attraction in Bangkok- The Grand Palace. I guess I was expecting to go inside some impressive building. But rather, it is the whole complex that is impressive. The “outer” part of the complex is a series of temples, monuments, and tomb-like structures. All covered in either gold (tiles or paint), colored glass tiles, or intricately painted ceramic tiles. There was so much to take in, and the pictures don’t do it justice…

Although we had plenty of early mornings for English Camp, when it was over, we got up early again! “Why?” you ask? To pick up Nicolette from the airport! For those of you who don’t know her, Nicolette is a dear friend of mine from college. We roomed together our senior year, and then again once I returned from Korea. She was also a very dedicated and helpful bridesmaid! She has been living in India for the past 5 months, helping at a center of 500 girls. Since Thailand is kinda on the way home, she decided to take a detour and hang out with us for a week!

It was fun to watch the campers who came without friends quickly make friends and have a good time.

That’s right! Tomorrow we leave for English Camp! We’ve been hearing about and preparing for English camp since we got here two months ago. And now the anticipation is over! We’re headed off for three days of teaching English, having fun, and most importantly, building relationships. Some of the campers have already been hanging around the church, but there are others we haven’t seen much of since they signed up for camp.

Well, the past two weeks have been packed full! Last Monday, we drove up (ok, Kelly drove, we just rode in the truck) to Mae Sot, located on the Thai/Burma border. We stayed for a week and observed and learned so much!
