Back in Beirut

We got back from Thailand a few days ago, and had an amazing trip! We took a ton of pictures, and to see some of the best, we’re just going to refer you to Dena’s facebook album.

The trip was a great mix of sites and activities, and we felt like we really got to see a lot of Thailand. We especially enjoyed spending time with my college roommate Josh and his fiancée, Amy. Some other, more obscure, highlights from the trip:

-    Turns out we don’t get tired of Thai food; we ate it for pretty much every lunch and dinner and were still wanting it when we left.
-    We enjoyed hanging out with people our own size. Okay, yeah, we were still probably shorter than the average Thai… but not that much shorter!
-   We heard Thai versions of "Country Roads" not once, but twice during our stay at the beach. The Mountaineer pride was almost too much to handle.
-   I read two whole books during this trip. Yes, for most people, this is normal vacation fare, but I don’t think I’ve read an extracurricular book in around 5 years, so this was quite an accomplishment; we literally celebrated.


Anyway, I start the next semester this week, and this weekend, our first guests come! We’re so excited for Tony and Laura to get here!

  2. Yes, it was shocking & it did require a small celebration at the end of each book. But don't expect a repeat performance for at least another 8 years.
