Elyse's Trip to Thailand

Trip to Phangnga

2007-04-15T11:05:00.000-07:00

so we had a late start today but we got the whole family in the car and drove 1hr 1/2 and went to the next province close by for the day. At first we went to this boat pier, but looked a little sketchy to say the least.. so we decided to find another peir. grandmas and all hoped in the boat to the famous "james bond island" where in one of the movies was filmed (not sure which one tho, cant say im a huge fan) with limestone slate cliffs and chrystal green waters surely took my breath away. after that we did a like sea kayaking in and out thru caves in mid ocean, and around some of the beautiful coast, i was sure to get some great photography in! After that we drove over to a muslim fishing village, to have a great seafood lunch. to end the day we did a little bit of shopping and saw a beatiful sunset on the way home!

the kids waiting for lunch
waiting to eat
me passing out lunch

Every week i go and volenteer at the orpahnge, there is about 60 kids all together, thier not all orphans but there is a few. before it used to be a place where the mothers who were in prison put thier children if they were pregnant. but now its a daycare mixed as well. the kids are so loving and so cute too. some of my daily chores there are watching the kids & making sure they dont get into fights or anything, also get them lunch and help pass it out, another is after lunch bath them and help them get dressed for bed. when they have nap time we have a break, and then we come back and jus play with them till thier parents come. i love it there, but its not funded by the government only by donations.
