Arriving in Mae Sot: Wednesday, July 30


We flew to Mae Sat this morning on a smaller airplane and were met at the airport by Kara. We squeezed into her truck and she brought us to a hotel she found for us that had a family room. Once we secured a cot it will now fit us perfectly.  The girls were excited to see the lizards running around the walls at check in and counted 69 street dogs between the airport and the hotel. The definitely have animal control issues here. 
We drove to the Sun Sawany offices and got to see the solar panels and converters they are creating and installing to bring electricity to rural villages.


Then we had lunch (chicken soup with noodles seemed the most safe) with the group and also got to meet Salinee.  Afterwards we went back to our hotel for a nap and a little travel recovery until Kara came to take us to dinner. She took us to a great little Pad Thai place that we all loved (Zenna liked) that cost close to $6 to feed all 6 of us. Then we watched Kara, some locals and NGO's play soccer 'football' and were invited to play but the jet lag is setting in so we were all way too tired.

This little cutie pulled a chair up next to Caiden and couldn't get close enough. She was adorable. She was also rocking out to the music playing especially when Mark would join her. 

We are heading to bed now at the hotel and it's only 9:15pm here but
we can hardly hold our heads up.
