The Further Adventures of...

‘Adventures’ is, perhaps, a misnomer. We continue to get along well, though seldom leave the house. We are becoming more used to the ways of this child, but find that getting out is a bit more work than pleasure. An unfortunate selection of chicken peddlers laid waste to what energy we did have, but we all seem to be recovering quickly enough.
Heidi’s mum, Julie, will be staying with us a for a few more days before going to back to Seattle.
For our part, it looks like we may be staying in Bangkok until the early part of November, as we are still awaiting US citizenship and a passport for Frances before we can return to Laos. We hope this will give us more time to explore Bangkok, though we have yet to do so. Micah was able to take an early morning excursion to the flower markets along the Chao Praya river bank, and up past the Royal Palace. The military who has taken over the Thai government has stepped up their presence in Bangkok this week following reports of Thaksin secretly re-entering the country. All very exciting… that is, for people who spend most of their days in-of-doors.
