Curry

Yes! We enjoyed a lovely curry dinner tonight--finally! A big thank you to our friends Drew and Christine for that! Congratulations to them on their very recent engagement! Whoo hoo!

Tonight we met our tour group and leader for the Cambodia portion of the trip. Some of the group members are quite young but they seem smart and kind-hearted. Our leader is Channa. A 27 year old Cambodian woman who is very talkative and funny. I think she will be great! We leave at 6:45 am tomorrow for our drive to Cambodia. We will get visas at the border crossing. Tomorrow night we'll be blogging from Siem Reap. Hopefully we can access some wifi to post some photos. Hope everyone reading this is having a good week :)

Traffic!

Yo! Here is a little picture of typical traffic on a typical Bangkok, which makes for a not-so-typical bike ride. We spent the afternoon on a private biking tour, exploring all around the central part of the city. We saw some amazing things: markets, pagodas, food stalls, people, animals, etc.. In total about 22km, (13 miles). A little crazy but after a while even biking through the traffic was fun!

Settling in.

After a 10 hour sleep, we are up and getting ready for our day in Bangkok. Here is a picture of our room and the view we have for our room of the canal. There were heavy rains last night and it is pretty muggy. Today we are going on a food and bike tour of the city and tonight we will find a place to enjoy some Pad Thai and curry. Booya!!

Bangkok

Ah yes. It's a bit gritty. We are in Bangkok now. It is rainy season so we arrived to a rain storm this afternoon which our cab driver told us is a daily occurrence. That's ok I will take rain over the hot afternoon sun any day. It is not even 8:00 pm and we are turning in. I think I have only slept 2-3 hours since leaving the US on Saturday. Tonight's my night to catch up! We will be taking a food and bike tour of the city tomorrow and we will let you know how that goes :) goodnight!

Finally taking off!

Bye!!!

Mmmmmmm LA

We are chillin at LAX. Our flight to Shanghai was delayed 5 hours due to heavy rains there. We now take off at 5:10. Since we will arrive there too late at night to connect to Bangkok, they are supposedly providing a hotel for us for the night. Then we will fly to Bangkok at noon on Monday. No biggie. If you know us, you probably know we are ecstatic to get a free night in Shanghai!!!!! We have not yet been there! Happy two week anniversary to us!!!!

On our way to Cali!

We are going to spend the night in Los Angeles tonight before we fly to Shanghai tomorrow! Mom dropped us off at MSP in 100 degree heat. Yay!

Off to summer camp!

Sipsi is ready to go to Grandpa Scott's place while we are gone. She even packed up her stuffed animal pal Tipsy.
