Today was a day of pampering 😃 We started with a lazy morning...sleep in, late breakfast! Then we headed to Patong in a taxi. We spent our day at Jungceylon, shopping! After lunch we found a place for Jan and I to have a manicure, pedicure and our nails done. Jason and Brayden did some more shopping and had a fish foot spa 🐠 I think the fish were hungry and by the time they had finished needed no more to eat for the day!!! Got a gorgeous shot of the sunset tonight... ...after our Tuk Tuk ride home (Brayden’s request) We then headed to Karon for dinner and a little more pampering...💆🏼♀️💆🏻♂️💅🏻 A stop at the Karon Aussie first...

A day in Albuquerque. Today was a huge day starting with breaks at the holel at 6:30 and then heading to Albuquerque. We saw a Police car flip on the interstate whilst on our way but the driver managed to get out safely. There are many Pueblos along the way (native communities). Many have casinos for income. We started our day at a middle school. Very inspiring for children grades 6 - 8. Then we went to lunch at the cultural centre (green chilli beef - yummy). Off to the arts museum with a guided tour (fantastic arts from local, American artists. Also the performing arts centre with the largest stage in the South West and entry halls that were just spactacular. We have then gone to an adult learning centre where we spent several hours with students and staff, most if who had English as a second language. This was very humbling these people are at the centre because they want to be and as such are very inspiring. One of the single mums has ...
We have had a really quiet day today...lazy morning again, breakfast, dropped some washing off to the Laundry (70baht per kg = approx. $2.30) Comes back clean, ironed and folded!!!! We headed to the tailors this morning. Jason and I are getting some clothes made (a little more expensive than the laundry!) We had lunch back at the resort (a bit of western food) and had some quiet time! In the afternoon we headed over to Patong. We went to the night markets and had some dinner. A Suki Hot Pot at MK. This was yum! A suki hot pot is a little like the old fondue...communal dinner but more like soup. 🍜 Tonight at the market we found some shirts for Jason. The best thing about this was the salesman. Normally they are trying to convince you to buy something you don’t want (in all honesty this guy was probably the same) however he was definitely the best salesman so far. His English was pretty good and his knowledge of Aussie slang was great...how are ya mate, gday, bloody hell, fri...
