Adventures with Rachel Part 2: Camping!

 Rachel, Pam, and I all went 4 hours out of Bangkok to go camping and hike some waterfalls! It was a beautiful time! We went the weekend that Rachel got in... we packed alot into that weekend. :)

                                                               They are So beautiful!!

                                                                   We made it to all 7!!!

Ok... So we thought it would be great to swim in the water... little did we know what would be waiting for us... So there are a Ton of fish in the water... they are small, but they Love to eat the dry skin off of your feet... lets just say that Rachel and I did not enjoy that. ;)

                                It looks so fake!!! But it's real! God makes some beautiful things!

              At one of the waterfalls you can slide down the rocks into the water... it was So fun!!

The waterfalls are apart of a state park and they have a place where you can go camping. They have the tents all set up and they give you everything you need... sleeping bags, pillows, blankets, ect...

                                                 It was beautiful and So quiet and peaceful!

                           This is the bus we rode up to the state park in. ;) It was a great ride. :)

                                                        What a wonderful camping trip!

Adventures With Rachel Part 1: Park and River Taxi

August was a full month... ;) I was in Germany for the beginning of it and then I got back and the next day my best friend Rachel flew in! It was So wonderful to have her here! It also ended up being perfect timing as I didn't end up starting school till sep... so I had time to spend with her.
The first weekend she was here I took her to the Kings park and then the river taxi.

                                        At the Kings Park they have a Ton of monitor lizards.

This Almost makes you think we aren't in a Huge city...

Rachel tried some new food... :) No, this is not thai food... although we had quite a lot of that while she was here. This is my favorite food... it's Lebanese food. :)

We took the river taxi to the flower market, another market, and then a wat.

                                                Rachel looking great in a Thai outfit. ;)

                                 This is called the sunset (or sunrise) wat... can you guess why?

                                                           Rachel had a great time... :)

Germany Trip Part 5: History

The last place we visited in Germany was a concentration camp from WWII. Jenel really wanted to see one while we were there and I'm glad we did. There was so much history there... yes, it was vary sad and humbling to go, but it was worth it.

 It was so beautiful there... it's hard to believe that this place could be filled with such terrible memories for people. And all the torture that went on here.

                                               This is where they buried 2500 people.

                                         This is where 5000 people were buried.

                                                  I'm so glad that I have hope in Jesus!!

That was the end of my time in Germany. It was a wonderful trip and I'm So glad that I got to go!
