well, it's been a few days now, and we've gotten a little more familiar with chiang mai. shirley townley (school of frontier media director) has been so warm and helpful showin' us the major hot spots in town. we went to the YWAM chiang mai office yesterday for the first time. we were pleasantly surprised to see an old friend there...Naret! actually, we saw him earlier at Central, a supermall, where he snuck up on us. the mall has a gym with weights and treadmills (which is good, since we haven't been gettin' much exercise).
needless to say, the food here is SOOOO amazing! as i type, i'm digesting some pork skewers from street vendors i had for dinner. just the other day we had a breakfast of pork buns and yogurt from one of countless seven elevens, too!
we've managed to get a few thank you postcards (thought they'd be a nice touch!) done. we mailed 'em today. also visited Doi Suthep, a temple at the highest point in chiang mai! finally, we're startin' a collection of bootleg DVDs (just 2 so far) ;)

hey(encyclo)pedyia,
how r u doing? hopefully, everything is good so far. i wish i could be in thailand right now.
yup, booties! doin' well here! it's lydia's first day of classes! wish you could be here, too, bro! come visit with danny in the winter!
i wish i could visit in the winter, but the way American economy is working right now, it's quite impossible to get there. air plane ticket alone is $3000.
Thanks for your note. It was good to hear from you & read your blog. What a wonderful God adventure you are taking. Keep in touch. Love Sue
Peter & Lydia...
Great to check out your blog! Thanks for sending the link. By the way, we had a baby girl on June 5th: Mia Grace. We'll send some picture links soon. Can't wait to hear more about Thailand!
