R&R


Warning: this post may not be as exciting as previous posts. 

Today we didn't do much! We woke up, ate breakfast, and left around 10 to go to the Russian market. This was a lot smaller and A LOT hotter than the central market we went to. We didn't have a guide today so we took tuk tuks to get there. But we were able to get some more things and walk around a little. After the market we went to the hotel my grandma, Sherry, and Clare stayed at when they adopted Clare. They reminisced in the memories of Clare being a baby. We came back to the hotel around 11:30 because it was getting unbearably hot and muggy. Ate lunch at the hotel. Lounged around. Later in the afternoon grandma and I got a massage by the pool! It was soooo wonderful. Thinking about going with my mom when I get home. :) I came back to the room, showered up, and went to the mall which is right around the corner with grandma, Sherry, Clare, and Tony. We ate dinner there and went to their grocery store. They had so many crazy things like salmon flavored chips and spicy lobster flavored Pringles. Grandma and I got a few fun things. 

Christmas tree selfie in the mall. 

One family left tonight to go back home so we all spent some time together at the bar this evening. They're the ones that planned the events and set up this trip. It really has been wonderful and we are all so so so very thankful for the time Teri and Luree put in to planning this trip. Sad to see them leave. 

I only took two pictures today. I think that's a record. 

Buuuuut that means we leave tomorrow!! I'm ready to be home and see the fam. (And the snow if there's any left). I'm not really sure what tomorrow will look like but I'll try to put up a last post tomorrow before we head to the airport. Thanks to those of you reading! I hope you've enjoyed it :)
