Today started off meeting my Mongolian friend, Tseka, at Mo Chit station (BTS) to introduce her to my favorite park circuit! After walking around JJ Park and pointing out Queen Sirikit Park, we made our way to the Train Park. Here we stopped for some lunch, and I was treated to delicious "nam tok" and sticky rice. Yum!
In the Train Park, there is a free butterfly garden. I've run past it many, many times, and always think, "I'll come back to see it someday..." Well. Today was that someday. Loved getting to see all the cool butterflies (and moths) and, in true Thai fashion, photograph everything!
Today was the end of Week 4 teaching... only two weeks left! After classes tonight, I headed over to Chelsea and Monica's place for their open-house/goodbye party. There was quite a crowd! We stayed until late talking, taking pictures (lest we forget we're in Thailand!) and enjoying some general tom-foolery. Chelsea leaves this weekend, and Monica will leave in a little over a week. They will go back to the States for the holidays and then return to Phuket to begin their work with SHE Ministries.
And, as it's officially Thanksgiving in America, a very happy Thanksgiving to all of you! May your time with your families be sweet and special. Praying that God blesses you richly today with many memories made and moments shared. And, in memory of all us photo-happy folks in Thailand, don't forget to capture some of the moments :)
