Foreigners this way!

Two days ago we got to go to the Doi Suthep temple that is in the mountains over looking Chiang Mai. Our favorite sungtao driver, Pilap, picked us up early and we got there before most of the "foreigners". The sign to buy tickets was pretty fitting! 

We walked up about a trillion stairs to get there. It was a cool entrance, but we were all huffing and puffing by the end. 

 This room was full of Buddhas. It was really crazy for us to see people praying and worshipping these statues. We talked about how crazy they probably think we are for worshipping something we cannot see. It really helped us realize the hurdle that missionaries here must have when talking to Buddhist people. 

In this room I got in trouble by the monk on the left. SUCH A TROUBLE MAKER!!! Haha, I had my feet out in front of me facing the Buddhas. Ooops! 

We saw so many smiling monks.

This is the view of Chiang Mai. Smokey, but still beautiful!

There are dogs everywhere in Thailand. They roam around and are usually in pretty poor condition. These were some sleeping dogs that laid around the temple grounds. 

This is a little piece of nastiness that I took home from the temple. We are still not sure what it is. YUCK!

Who wants one of these hats? Let us know! 

Here are the girls bargaining with a shop owner. We are getting better at this!

A few nights ago we got a late night Whataburger craving. Needless to say, that was not going to happen. So we hopped on our bikes at 11:30 and zoomed past the guard of our neighborhood. We popped over to 7-11 and bought the whole store. Here is the aftermath shortly before the army of ants enjoyed the rest.

We have also felt adventurous enough to dye Kirstyn and Taylor's hair. Here is Taylor's hair dye box. The instructions in Thai and Chinese. Even though her hair is purple now....it still looks realllly good!!

Today we plan on fixing our bikes. We are down to 2 working bikes out of 6 that we own! It takes us twice as long to get anywhere now and two of us are always huffing and puffing to get to our destination, while the other two on the back of the bikes are enjoying a nice ride! It has been fun sharing, but hopefully today will be the last of that! 

It is our day off and then tomorrow and Sunday are full days of playing with the kids! I'm sure that we will have many stories for ya by Sunday night.

Love to you guys!
