Charlie Noi Ben
Rika and Rosie |
After Ben's uncle left for work we moved in with Noi and the girls for a few days. Noi was a great hostess teaching me (Amanda) how to cook Thai food and Ben how to drive 'Thai style' and on the left side of the road. The girls loved pestering Ben and playing 'I spy' with us in the truck while we toured the island. Noi took us to the beach, the market, to see the sunset, temples, stores, took us on errands, and each day Ben drove to school to pick up the girls. When Noi wasn't directing us Rika or Rosie would guide us on our errands, surprisingly knowing all the directions for being 8 and 6 respectively. They also constantly reprimanded their mother for her improper use of left and right (in English).
It was great to be with family and be in a home, running errands, cooking, shopping...what a nice change from 'tourist' travel!
