This morning, Jon was to pick both Emily and I up to go to the University. Unfortunately, Emily wasn’t feeling well, so we had to go without her. So, she didn’t have the chance to teach to 50 Thai students! Thankfully, as the day went on, Emily definitely felt better. So, all is well.
Jon and I went for breakfast before class this morning. I had the egg omelet-type thing that I had the first day we arrived in Ubon. I also got milk tea (which was yummy!) and apple juice (which was REALLY green and looked like a science experiment…but tasted good!). Jon taught the class, and I helped when he asked me to. He was teaching on past tense today. The students did a really good job. They were to practice different exercises with a partner and then come to either Jon or I for us to hear them, too. I was blessed with a very nice compliment from one of the girls—she made my day!
After class, at about 10:30 or so, I had a few hours on my own. Alan was with Randy at the fish farm. Emily was still resting. Amy and her family were visiting friends. So, for my free time, I walked around the little mall near our house and decided I was going to continue my spa experiences here in Thailand. So, I got a 1-hour foot massage today—for only $7!! (I also learned I was wrong in my amount for my 2-hour Thai massage yesterday. It was only like $13---not $30!!) I’m loving these inexpensive, but amazing, spa services here! J
After my little treat, I shopped a little more, got some snacks for lunch and ended up meeting the others at the waterpark on top of the hotel! We just got in the water, when a storm came through and we had to get out. Thankfully, it only lasted a bit and we could get back in. This waterpark was so much fun for the kids (and the adults)! It’s above the city, on top of the hotel—crazy! Lots of water slides! It was a fun couple of hours for all of us.
By late afternoon, Emily was feeling better and was able to join Jon for a meeting at the University. Alan, Emily and I watched the Goshorn children and Caleb for the evening so Randy and Jodi and Jon and Becky could go out on a double date. Amy and the children met some other friends for dinner.
It’s hard to believe our time here is winding down. We only have a few days left. Tomorrow morning, we have an early start. Alan, Emily and I are heading out to the fish farm at 5:00 a.m. (you have to go early to beat the heat!). Should be an interesting morning!
