Another with no plans, another day of relaxing. I left my hotel around 11:00 to go to a coffee shop. These shops often sell cake as well as coffee. I went, hoping for honey toast, but found that they did not have any. I settled instead for a mango fruit tart, and thai tea with milk. After breakfast I spent to next hour in my room before going to get a massage. I have been meaning to get one for a while, and decided today was the day. I walked a little ways, before seeing a motorcycle taxi that would take me the rest of the way to the spa. I got the one hour massage and i felt so relaxed afterwards.

The fruit stand I stopped by on my way back to the hotel. Most fruit stands are like this: attached to a motorcycle. |
P'Nong, My host aunt of my second family, picked my up from my hotel, and we proceed to her house. There I meet with my host grandma Ama, my mom P'Joy, my dad P'Prem, and brothers Iekyue(pronounced E.Q.)and Kenchin. We visited a little before going to get dinner. P'Joy and Kenchin didn't go because Kenchin was in a mood, and P'Prem was going to meet some friends that night. Ama, P'Nong, EQ and I all went to a japanese restaurant.

EQ loves Spiderman |
|
So much food |
EQ is very talkative and it seemed as if nothing changed, but maybe he treats everyone like that. EQ is 5 years old, and Kenchin is 3. Kenchin does not remember me. He was very shy and didn't day much. After dinner we went back to the house and I talked with P'Joy a little.
P'Nong and I went to Ongprah to get some dessert.

Before stirring it up |

After. This is sweet syrup with different dried or pickled like fruits, with ice. It sounds a little strange to westerners, but it is quite good. |
|
What some of the fruits look like |
|
I can never get enough of Ongprah. |
|
Somehow, dried squid makes for a really satisfying photo, although I don't like the 'dried squid' part. |
Wishing for the best on your adventures,
