too much food.....

with a quick look on the internet about what was going on in Indonesia we realized that it may not be a safe place for us to visit right now, unfortunately. neither one of us felt safe traveling through java, which was our plan, and it seemed everywhere i turned someone was saying that it was unsafe for american girls. so we got dropped off at the airport and headed to the train station for a quick jaunt up to Ayuthaya, to spend a few hours looking at ancient temples and a new one. there is no lack of large buddhas in thailand. before tuesday we had spent the weekend with Pim's family, who is my mom's cousin's wife, where liza ate plenty of pork and i had lots of fish(which i dont like, but felt rude saying no)....they kept wanting to feed us....Definitely no lack of food in this country:) we were well taken care of, a driver for everywhere we went, a bathroom with a shower separated from the toilet and our own pink and blue slippers....they paid for everything and i felt guilty for all the food that was wasted..yesterday we hopped on a train for 10 hours of fish-tailing train experience. we both like chiang mai, the dogs even seem well taken care of here:) no scrappy bug infested animals so far!! much love to everyone -acazia (my turn)
