Lazy Days and Wednesdays...is that how it goes?

Yesterday was somewhat uneventful.  Noi and I went to her house and did some laundry while Caleb slept.  Actually, Noi did laundry (I have no clue how the Thai washers work) while I read articles and then took a walk around the neighborhood outside of Noi's house and did some street photography (quickly becoming my favorite type of photography).  Truthfully, there is not so much to say about yesterday except that it was a lazy, relaxing day with a lot of time spent sitting.  My walk was interesting, though.

Around 3:00, we came back to the hotel and ordered pizza delivery because it was pouring buckets from the sky.  It's not cold outside, but it sure is raining a lot right now...it hasn't stopped since we got back to the hotel.  I know that Caleb is starting to get a little bit homesick, and it's hard for him to not be able to communicate with the locals at all.  He is used to having the run of the town, so to speak; however, here, he is a lot more restricted in his ability to get around.  Again, this will serve him well in the future to have experience dealing with a new culture.

Despite the fact that Caleb is missing home right now, he is not shy right now about making plans for our trip back here in November.  Of course, his plan is to bring two of his friends with us.  The idea for that trip is to go to Phuket and enjoy the tourist zone for a bit (staying at a less touristy place) since we will have a shorter time here then (about a week and only about 6 days in country).  We will see how everything pans out, but it seems reasonable at this point.

Okay, I guess I will close this entry.  I may write another one later this evening if anything happens today of much consequence.  Noi and I both feel like we have been eating too much lately, so we are definitely cutting back for the day and only eating as needed and nothing more...that's our plan, and I hope we stick with it.

Cheers!
