Water Boy

Bryce moved schools this term, but he still celebrated the water festival, Songkran, with his old classmates. Here are a few pictures from the Thai New Years Celebration.

Some People Walk in the Rain

and others just get wet.

The sky was dark and gloomy, the air was damp and raw, the streets were wet and sloppy. The smoke hung sluggishly...really the smoke just could not escape!! ( Charles Dickens)


Wednesday morning it poured rain over BKK. Not an unusually story. I had seen the streets flood and known this to happen. Bryce and I headed to his new school. Here is what we found (pick up from school).

I forgot to get my camera out on the way too school. I was a bit nervous, I could hear my tail pipe popping, It was completely submerged as I drove Bryce to the door steps of school. We really needed a land duck or a boat. This shows the water down about 4-6 inches from the morning commute.
Thank goodness I have already invested in the school bus for the next term, I don't know if my car can take it. Especially since the rainy season has not even officially started yet.

An Unexpected Visitor

I was surprised to get an envelope, from my previous elementary school, in the mail on Wednesday. I was a little bit curious what they might be sending me after all these years. In the back of my mind I thought it could have something to do with my 6 yr old niece who currently attends that school. To my suprise it was a life sized cut out of my niece, Kaylyn, with a letter telling me that she was traveling the world. The letter said she could not take time off from her studies. Therefore, she sent a paper version of herself and the school will chart where she has traveled for the next 6 months. I am happy she stayed for a short visit. Today I sent her off to her next destination in England. I hope that this project will allow her and her fellow class mates to see the world, even if is is through postcards. In June 2011 her paper self is to return to the elementary school.

Year of the Hare

I am Papa Nick

Bryce thought it would be funny to wear this piece of paper as a mustache, just like the one Papa Nick has. Bryce thought the Wocket should wear a mustache too.
