A View of the City

Below is a view of our new city from the balcony of our apartment. We live on the 11th floor of a 17 story building. We have really enjoyed living here so far and are looking forward to exploring around town more. With 11 million people there has to be lots of exciting stuff to see. Our teammates said that they lived here for 4 years before ever getting to see the mountains off in the distance from their apartment. It was awesome to be able to see them after having only been here for a week.



We went out to a park last weekend with some of our teammates and had a great time. There was a huge closed-in area where you could feed the birds and also some amusement rides for the kids.

It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday...

I can't believe that it has been two weeks since we left Thailand! We are loving it here in our new home and our new city, but we are missing all of our friends and "family" back in Thailand. As a married couple we lived in Chiang Mai longer than any other place so saying goodbye was bittersweet. We will especially miss our great friends in Chiang Mai and the 'family' we became. We will also really miss our Thai 'Mom' and 'Dad' and want to say how much we love them and think about them often. Thanks for being such great parents to us! Here are some pictures of our last few days in Thailand.
