We finally left Bangkok, and I was ready.  We went to check out bus prices and times for departure.  Lucky for us, we had five minutes until departure.  It was convienent!  No waiting.  When we arrived in Kanchanaburi we got a ride to our Guest house from a nice guy who had to pedel his way for 10-20 minutes with my weight, Jema's weight, and both of our backpacks.  Besides feeling guilty watching him struggle, the cost was 40 Baht total (30 baht is approximate to 1 dollar) for the ride.  Our guest house is called the Jolly Frog.  It is really cheap and since we have been so busy, we are really only using it for sleeping.  The afternoon was a bit more relaxing.  We found a great little restraunt in which I ended up ordering something like clams or squid - something rubbery, but filling.

In the afternoon we got another massage!  I am seriously wanting to get them every day.  It was 120 baht.  They do a lot of reflexology and stretching here vs the US.

Besides the planning for the next day and dinner, that was really about my day.

That massage really appeals to me and I cant wait to get one myself. I am glad that you are enjoying yourself and are safe. May Yahweh bless you and keep his hedge of protection around you.

So many different things to learn, and getting around in a completely foreign place -- fun, but lots of energy required.
