Floating Market Fun

Today was actually cold; like San Diego weather! You all probably think I am crazy for being so excited about the weather but I oh well :p We took off this morning to go to a floating market. To get there we had to take a ferry and then we had to take a motor taxi (in other words a motorcycle taxi). We doubled up on the bikes so it was the driver, Kayla and I on a bike for about 5 ish minutes. It was AWESOME!! The market was cool but very busy. We kept getting water flung on us by a Buddhist monk. At the market I ate crab legs off the full crab body for the first time. It was...crunchy (and blegh!). After the market we went to Kings Park for lunch and some hang out time. This park is beautiful and is a common picture taking place for weddings and graduation (lots of both there). This park also had a maze and a workout area. Amanda and Jerome competed against each other  in hula hooping (these are weighted hula hoops-pretty sure they both have bruises now) for 6 minutes straight. They walked, jumped, did full spins while hula hooping and making lots of smack talk- Jerome: "I need more meat on me" (this dude is built like Brodie). On the way home Gabie got off the Sungtow without pushing the button to slow down. She ended up wiping out pretty badly. Thankfully she is just scratched up...no broken bones and she didn't hit her head. Tonight we all went to the classroom for a movie night. That was a nice and relaxing hang out time. PRAYER REQUEST: we had reports of 2 bombings in downtown Bangkok. I am safe but please keep praying for those involved and around the riots.
