On Thursday we went on an adventure of poor planning (which is actually what happened over most of the trip). So, we started the day an hour late...or right on time for Thailand...at Doi Tung Royal Villa. First we went to a temple at the top of the mountain. It was a little hard to see things because it was so foggy out. Then we went down to the villa which was the summer home of the king's mother. For a royal home it seemed rather small but this could have been because the tour only got to go into the main room and could look into the loving quarters. During this trip cold became miserable and the students stopped having fun. Everyone was glad to get out of the cold and get back onto the buses.
We had to rush to make it to Burma so we would have some time at the market...we wound up only having about 1.5 hours in the market instead of the 3-4 that was originally planned. In Burma the students had fun shopping and helping me haggle. I didn't buy much this year but I did have fun with the students.
On Friday we went up to the Golden Triangle to tour an import-export company before we headed home. I had fun watching the boats load and unload goods since I couldn't understand any of the tour. And for some reason the sun decided to grace us with her presence on the one day that was going to be spent on a bus...grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Overall the trip was fun but it could have been a lot better if we had hired 2 bus drivers per bus (so we didn't have to stop in the middle of the night for the driver to sleep) and if it hadn't rained and been freezing the whole time.
Tomorrow morning I'm heading to Malaysia/Singapore for another school trip. I'll post pictures from both trips after I get back :D

I tried to find the salsa verde doritos to send you but they don"t carry them within a 50 mile radius!! :(
That anonymous about the doritos was from aunt leanne!!!
Thanks Leanne...I could only find them in WY. I guess they're a regional chip.
