The Beach, then Bangkok

About a week ago, we went to stay at a beach house south of Bangkok. First of all, it was really weird to be inside a house! Once we got used to it, though, it was nice! We lounged in bed and watched Singing in the Rain.




There was a great pool. We were the only people there!





It was really fun.


While we were there, we celebrated the Thai holiday of Loy Krathong. It's the end of the rainy season, and everyone lights candles and sets them floating on rivers and streams and in the ocean. They also light paper lanterns and send them up into the night. We did it, too. It was so beautiful. The lanterns were like something in a Miyazaki film.





Then we went to Bangkok to drop our dad off at the airport. He went to Australia for three weeks to a permaculture and water harvesting course. Bangkok was more fun this time. But really our favorite thing about going to Bangkok is getting to eat pizza and drink root beer.




Julie met a giant sheep.We don't really know what to say about it.

So now our dad is in Australia for 3 weeks and it's back to the farm and school.
