So, I finally get a chance to move a litter slower today.I chatted with family in Florida this morning and then took the train to school. There have been issues with the online course presentation. I did meet with the technology coordinator and we think we have worked out the glitches. I told my students yesterday that I was coming in to meet with anyone who was interested in getting together. I had nine of my twelve students come to class today. I knew that three of my students had a meeting in Pattaya, southern Thailand. I was very happy to see that, basically, 100% of my students showed up for when they could have had the day off. On the way to school I stopped and bought a couple bags of fruit; Mangosteens and Lychees. The class today on last two hours but we had a relaxed bonding time together. We did one activity where I started stories with a setting and then after each person wrote a paragraph, they paced it to the next student. At the end, we had 9 stories that every student participated in writing a portion of it. I then read each story one by one. It was good for some good laughs. I am going to briefly have my online class tonight from 6:00 to ??????.
Below: I finally broke down and for the first time in all my visits to Thailand I ate from a street vendor. The aroma of the chicken skewers drew me in and I feel fine four hours later. Delicious!
This water lily was actually by the golf course and it looked so beautiful that I had to snap a picture.

Thailand Facts:
1. I broke the law today. It is against the law to leave your house without underwear on. I am legal now. I went out early to get my laundry and hid from the police as I went to avoid arrest.
2. Thailand is the largest exporter of rice in the world.
