Happy Birthday Scott!...Scott is in India at the moment. We love you!

Faith has been studying sonnets in English class just recently and this is her first attempt at writing one for an assignment. We thought we would share it with you...

Chiang Mai—Sonnet
Faith Cougill

Hot almost all year round and tropical,
Mosquitoes every night and touristy,
Exciting, humid, palm trees, comfortable
Chiang Mai is a peaceful place of tranquility.

It’s friendly, peaceful, and it’s very fun.
When rain comes, I feel lots of thankfulness
And I feel joy when comes the cheerful sun.
Chiang Mai is a place where I feel happiness.

The markets are remarkably busy
Their handmade crafts are great: ask “tao rai kha?”
Most of these crafts are not at all cheesy.
A useful saying in Chiang Mai: “Sawasdee Kha!”

A common way to get around: song taew
A wonderful shopping mall: Gad Suan Gaew

Hi Faith - What a good writer you are becoming, just like your mother. You seem to do well whatever you put your mind to. We don't quite have the hang of this blogging thing, but it is a good idea. We love you. Maw and Paw
