A precious baby that we got to snuggle at Nightlight. They have rescued the mom and her baby. I was thankful for NOT seeing an oprhange at this trip (maybe next one) I don't know that I could've handled it emotionally.





This is my friend Kim and a sampling of the fruit from Thailand. David showed us how to peel it, kind of has a skin like an acorn. What is left is this fruit that looks like an eyeball. I did eat it, it's one of the bravest things I did. For those who don't know, I am NOT very adventerous in my food. I detest seafood of all or any kind (and rice) and that was a very large majority of their diet. This fruit was called Lychee.
Click Here for a picture I took a picture of the unwrapped eyeball fruit. My friend Janelle posted it on her blog first, so I don't want to double post.






This was on a very busy street. Someone had handwashed their clothes and laid it to dry on some shrubs, it'd kind of be like driving down Haggerty and 6 Mile Corrider and having ladies and men w/sewing machines sitting sewing, booths of people selling dollar store items and knock off purses and shirts, clothes set out to dry, men walking in the busy traffic, with a pull cart selling homemade brooms, families in the upwards of 5 and 6 people riding on ONE, (yes you read that right, one motorcycle,), women riding on the back of a motorcycle side saddle
going at terrific speeds, now add pedestrians into the traffic walking and busses and taxis and you name it. Now multiply that times 10 deep, side by side, by side by side, mile after mile after mile. = Bangkok
