Day 5

Sawaddeeeeee!

Fridays I dont go to work so Ive just been hanging around for the day, therefore, I dont have much to write today.

Last night we had pad thai for dinner. Its like noodles and bean sprouts and tofu and other vegetables except they put a lot of sugar in it so I wasnt really a fan. Plus, after the lunch that I had I wasnt at all hungry. After dinner we walked to Tony's place which is like a restaurant, internet cafe, bar, hotel and you can also get massages there as well. I ordered a watermelon, pineapple and banana 'fruit shake' and it was delicious. Then we walked home after a few hours.

I actually slept decent for the first time since Ive been here and since I didnt have school I was able to sleep in. At 8:45 I woke up (yes mom, this is when I naturally woke up and was ready to get up and also what I call sleeping in a little.) I went outside and had papaya and granola for breakfast. The rest of the people staying at the hostel went to different places for the weekend so it was just me and Julia from Germany there. We sat and talked and Sukanya came and talked for a little bit. After a while we decided since it was such a beautiful day that we would bike to one of the local hotels and ask to use the pool. It was actually super close to Tony's place so like a ten minute bike ride. We had to pay 80 baht each to use the pool or like...just over $2. lol. And it was absolutely gorgeous...check out my pictures! We swam and laid out in the sun for like 3 hours...I used sunscreen on my arms and chest but neglected my face and legs. Big mistake. Im baked and sooooo sore. It was wonderful to swim though...so relaxing. I was really happy. The sky started to get extra cloudy so we left the pool and biked to Swennsen's which is like a Friendlys and had the most delicious sundae ever. So much for losing weight while Im here! Then we biked home and I laid in bed and read for a while.

Now I am back at Tony's place with Elena. She is from Washington. I will probably spend most of the evening here since there are a lot of fans and internet lol. They also serve American food...cheeseburgers and fries so I might have to treat myself. Again, so much for losing weight!

Tomorrow I will take a train in the morning with Julia to Bangkok or BKK to spend the rest of the weekend with Cartoon. We will go to the market and since its her mother's birthday we will have a party at some restaurant. Im sooo looking forward to that. :)

Sorry I dont have any interesting stories today...it was a pretty mellow day. I will be gone for the weekend so I dont know how much Ill post but Ill at least update it when I return!

<3 to all!
