three weeks

I am having the most amazing time in Thailand!! I’m settled in to school now and we started travelling on weekends. This past weekend we went on an overnight school trip to chiang mai where we watched traditional thai dances, saw elephants painting pictures, rode elephants through the mountains, went rafting on a river, hiked up waterfalls, and swam in waterfalls. Then, Sabrina Kent Rachel and I extended for an extra two days. We rented motor bikes and rode around chiang mai getting more of a feel for the beautiful mountainous province. We went to the hot springs where we boiled eggs and swam. Then we went on a hike to watch sunset. We went to the famous sunday night market where we got foot massages at midnight. The next day we got massages by inmates in a women’s correction center (to help support them when they are released) and visited a handicraft shop with crafts created by people with handicaps. It was one of the most amazing weekends of my life!
