On our first day we pretty much spent the whole day at the well or at the nearby mall. Matt and I met with the counselor for about an hour and a half. He's great and very supportive. He's already given me several useful ideas, so I'm excited to talk with him more. We went to the local super store for lunch and to do some shopping. There are several things that are really a lot cheaper here. Since we're in an apartment, we've been cooking a simple meal each day so that we're not always eating out. In the afternoon the counselor observed China and Mitike in a play therapy session. By then we were all exhausted as we had gotten in at midnight the night before--we went back to the flat, ate, and went to bed. Mitike got some food poisoning, but was better by the morning.
On our second day, we decided to take it easy.
The kids played in the pool. It was a little chilly--so they did some sunning!
They got heart balloons from the staff.
After a nap, we went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant. It was pretty good!Then we walked over to the night market. Chiang Mai has THE best night market! I love exploring. Matt does all the bargaining! I enjoyed looking and hope to go back another night.
It was pretty warm and Ana was tired out, so we stopped in McDonalds for some ice cream. We caught a red truck back to the hotel and got everyone in bed. Happy Birthday to me!
