So we're gonna try this out and see how it
works...unfortunately half the webpage is in thai and last I checked I couldn't read thai....hopefully I can figure out how to post this! SOOO flight here was inSANELY long. We were flying for a total of 23 hours, and were in and out of airports for over 30. I didn't have any trouble with jet lag when I went to France, but sort of feel like I got hit by a bus :) I was falling alseep last night at about 6pm. Today was better, but I think it'll take us a little to get used to the time and the HEAT. It honestly feels like a sauna here. It is so humid and hot. No monsoons yet!! Thai people here wear jeans and long sleeve shirts no prob...I would have to shower 8 times a day. Also, I don't think I've touched as many people 
in one day as I did yesterday. I think tomorrow might be a new record because we're 
going to the market, and I have a feeling it might be a little busy! Our hostel here is great...air conditioned at night, which is key. We walked around today, went to a famous architects' house, took a thai cooking class...yes I did. I can now make spring rolls, peanut satay sauce and pad thai. Ask me again in 4 months...we're going to the market tomorrow and then Grand Palace on sunday. We're looking at heading out to Chiang Mai Sunday night on a night bus, where we'll go take our thai massage class, and then perhaps an elephant ride. Imagine!! Hope all is well at home!!
Love and hugs,
L T (and LH)
