We have had a wonderful, relaxing Christmas vacation. This week, we spent several days down in Chiang Mai with Chiang Rai friends, Michael and Hope Johnson. He is a pastor of the Thai/English church we attend here, Hope is the counselor at FLC and teaches classes as well. Their daughter is Megan's age and they have 7th and 5th grade boys as well. We had a great time with them, I could listen to Hope's southern accent forever, but it makes me jealous that I can't get away with saying y'all. We enjoyed going to the Sunday Night Market, which is different than the regular Night Bazaar that is open every night. It was crowded! We also got to see the pandas at the zoo, although we got there too late to see the baby, we had fun watching the daddy lounging in a chair eating bamboo. He was very picky about which pieces he would eat. The highlight, however was the Flight of the Gibbon. Both families splurged on this experience with Christmas money from home. Thanks to our wonderful families! The Flight of the Gibbon is two kilometers of ziplines, bridges and platforms. There is a very brief video below of the experience.
