Baan Thai cooking school

Today we spent the day learning to cook Thai food. We sighned up for a cooking class for the day. We all got to put on an apron and pick up our knife and cutting board and cook. We chopped, diced and fried our day away. Oh ya, we also ate....and ate....and ate. Phew, it was a hard day here in Chaing Mai. So the good news is. We now know (thanks to the Baan Thai cooking school) how to cook authentic awesomely great Thai food. Yes, we will cook for you asap.

When we got home from school, we scooted over to the House of Joy to spend our last night with the kids. We had a great night singing songs and talking and praying with them. Miranda made each child a going away gift. After hugs and almost a few tears they headed up to bed and we had another couple of hours hanging out with Kathleen and Galina(from Russia) talking. What a nice way to say goodbye to Chaing Mai.
We really loved Chaing Mai. So far it has been our favorite city that we have stayed in so far. It is clean and quiet, there is not as many scooters or honking. There are more dogs here than in Vietnem. But they have not kept us awake at night, so they can stay.

Tomorrow (June 23) we will be flying to Phuket, Thailand. We just could not handle not going to the islands for a few days. We hadn't planned on going when we arrived here. But after seeing some of the pictures in stores. We just could not go and see for ourselves. So we will take a quicky flight down and hang out on Phi Phi (pronounced pee pee) island for a few days before heading back to Bangkok on our way home.

Again it's 11 pm and I have to get some sleep.Will post pictures of the scrumptious food we made tomorow if I have time.
