happy birthday Shalese! Random photos of Chiang Mai






Cook eggs in the hotsprings, by hanging a small grass basket off a hook in the hot springs, yummy!

Songkran festival - Thai new years celebration.  Buddhist Monks sprinkle water for a blessing of prosperity, but it has turned into a huge display of water fights on the streets of Thailand and some other Asian countries

We were invited by our language teacher to join her church to celebrate Easter.  They met at the local dam for a dawn service, then a boiled easter egg hunt (all in Thai!).  Thai people dont celebrate Easter with Chocolate Easter Eggs

This elderly man was 'teaching' pete about the Wai - the polite way to bow when greeting a Thai person

Songkran festival fun


Finally found something to roast, a whole fresh chicken. Nice Easter Dinner

                                            One of our Thai lessons (sorry its sideways?)

                                                                Transport -  varieties galore

The tables where we wait for the children after school. I love hanging out with God here after we drop the kids off in the morning.
