One week down already. Lots of stuff going on in Thailand. We have done so many amazing things so far I can't wait to see what the next three weeks hold for us. Just got back from a small little backpackers town called Pai, pronounced "BYE". We went during the Thai holliday so it was pretty busy, when Monday came around and it was back to work for everyone the amount of people in the town went down by 2/3. Fell asleep many times in the hammocks in the bungalows and met so many amazing people. For example Ming the tattoo artist, who gave JP his first tattoo was great and invited us out for drinks every night. Yes JP got a new tattoo and it looks pretty good I have to say, lets just hope it heals before we get to the islands.
I think I am going to start a new business, Thai fish massage. You sit on a platform and stick your feet in a tank of doctor fish and let them eat the dead skin away. It was the most akward feeling ever and it was very hard to keep your feet still while they nibbled away. After about 20 minutes you get used to it and it feels great, except for the big ones, they kinda bite hard...to quote Lila "OH NO BIG BOY IS ON MY TOE." Great fun!!!
That is great. Glad you are back from the backpacking trip safe. The elephant sanctuary sounds amazing. Is JP's tattoo where we can see it? Have a good time. Love you, mom and dad b
ReplyDeleteCaity - ever since your story of the fish massage, mom has been sitting on our dock with her feet in the water waiting for the bluegills to start working on her feet. Ha Ha Thanks for sharing your trip with us...means a lot. We are with you in spirit. Love DAD B.
ReplyDeleteHey Jon Paul - I will send you the GB Packer's logo for your next tatoo. Love ya!
What, a fish massage? I can totally hear Lila talking to the fish too. I can't wait to see the tattoo in person. I can't believe he got one there; just hope it was clean.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are having a blast and loving every minute of it. I appreciate the blog updates, it makes me feel like I am there with you guys.
Take care of each other. I love you both.

Sounds like every one is having the time of their lives. isn't it funny how times passes when your on vacation, seems like it was only a few days ago when we dropped you off at LAX. Can't wait to see the TAT Buddie should be good to go before the scuba classes next week. As for that foot fish thingie, ya no thanks wait till your diving and you feel that :o( amazing how fast one swims to the surface when something is nibbling at you. Love ya all and continue to enjoy life's experiences there in Thailand.
