Well after a lot of airplane food and too many snacks, we all arrived safely in Bangkok and spent the night in two hotels. Spent the morning in Bangkok, had a great French breakfast downtown (bizarre!) and headed out for an authentic Thai massage to take away the jet lag. We rode the taxis and it was such a trip to see how many motorcycles and scooters would just zip all over and weave in and out of traffic. There were so many and they have no fear. Its like flies zippin around all over. We also rode their high rail trains around to get to places. That was an experience.
Later, we got to the Don Muang airport to fly to Udon Thani, and after some drama with missing Fred's bag, the confusion was settled, bag found, and we were on our way to the orphanage. As soon as we got there, we got to meet the staff and then the kids. Wow what an experience. Everyone said later that night that they had no idea how that would feel. Michelle had a very tearful reuinon with one of the girls she really connected with last year. We are going to spend all day playing with the kids today. Pray that God would be with us and we would respond to the promtings of the Holy Spirit.
