Home Visit to Northwest Thailand

Lunch time and Nicole and I head out for our home visit. I began driving since the last half of the trip are hills and I haven't quite mastered a manual car on hills. In Hot, a city half way there, we stopped for a bathroom break.


I would like to point out this has been my first squatty since I have been here....rule of thumb I usually try to avoid public bathrooms.

Our first full day up there we went on a hike. There is a spring that comes out of the mountain but eventually the water covers everything in its path with lime stone. It was pretty cool! So we hiked up stream until we got to it.


I don't even know...?







This where we slept!  I am pretty sure I squished a bug that was on my face in the middle of the night.
So recently I have had some bowel problems!  Well it was the worst while we were there and one day I just pretty much stuck around the only Western toilet!  For those of you that don't know what that means....they only have one toilet like you think of a toilet and the rest were squat-ties!

(Side note: come to find out the reason why I have had problems is from all the antibiotics that I took from my infection that I had on my leg.  So that caused all the "good" bacteria in my system to vanish leaving me with bowel problems.  But not to worry, I am now on a diet of eating good bacteria.)

for those of you that know me....this is my fake smile!

So we ended up leaving a day early becuz of my stomach.  But we had a good time there and it was such a beautiful drive!
