Thailand Update!

I should really be sending this out in an e-mail instead of posting, but this is just so much easier...

So...
We arrived in Bangkok on Thursday night. We weren't sure where to stay since our travel book was at least 7 years outdated. We got in a taxi and pointed to the address for a hostel which may or may not have still existed...
It did exist, but it was full. There were probably a few dozen hostels in the area, but almost all of them were full and the rest were more expensive than we were shooting for. Also, we're pretty sure the area of town was for a certain kind of traveller. There were quite a few rainbows on doormats, and people reflecting that.... lifestyle. The guys were glad to have me along.
We got out of Bangkok as quickly as we could. It was expensive, confusing, not walker-friendly, etc.
We could only get seats on the overnight train to Chiang Mai, so we were a bit nervous. But, the seats reclined, the train had a ton of character, and we met a fun couple from England and played cards! The train was 2+ hours late. When Mike asked a guy about it he said, "Welcome to Thailand!"
Our hostel in Chiang Mai is AMAZING! Very comfortable, colorful, cheap, etc. There are iced ovaltines across the street for only 15 baht!
We met the Kingdom Workers and went to the Sunday morning service despite the fact that it was all in the Thai language (Thailandese?). We hung out with the K.W.'s there, had lunch, went to the walking street market, played games, shared ice cream. It was all a very good time.
The boys stayed up until 5am watching the Eagles game last night since Mike (who we are travelling with) is a huge fan. I finally caught up on sleep. Now you are caught up!
