Sorry for the delay ...

Ugh, sorry guys. I didn't mean for this to turn into the blog that was never updated .... but a crazy week prevented me from getting internet. Aaand, I have yet to find somewhere to plug in my computer, so I can't put pics up. Blast.

In any case, I am officially living in the jungle. We've affectionatly named our new pad the Jungle Bungelow. Cute, right?

We moved in last week after a nutso weekend in Chaing Mai. More to come on that.

Nate's mastered the motorbike, while I'm still learning. We celebrated our successful move with a trip to a Thai po-dunk karaoke bar. Again, more to come on this.

Oh, and we got kidnapped this weekend and sent on a mountain adventure. Which was ok, until I busted my leg a few miles from civilization. In flip flops.

All in all, teaching is amazing - the kids are almost always making me laugh. Even when they're trying to torture me.

I have a great video of them for you too .... UGH. I need to find internet for my laptop!

Our house is nice, but not without its quirks. We have lots of roommates - huge spiders, centipedes the size of snakes, and at least 6 geckos. We're ok with them, but they need to be potty trained.

I've also adopted the Thai showering system - AKA, fill up a bucket and dump. Quickly. We have "running, hot water," but it takes at least 20 minutes to warm up and only dribbles. Seriously, who has time for that?

Just make sure there isn't a snakes in the bucket BEFORE dumping on your head ;)

WRITE ME please! Or snail mail me. Or something.
