Strange Fruit

So here is Kaiya holding a plate of rambutans a strange looking fruit with a jelly type meat surrounding a big seed. The taste is hard to describe but I get a hint of a cantaloupe flavor though my wife does not think so. I often think when I see a fruit such as this who was the first person to think they could eat it, it looks kind of scary, bright red with little hairy spikes jetting out all over, but they are tasty.

We have arrived

So our Thai adventure has begun. Here we are on a water taxi, it's quite a neat experience riding on one and seeing the sights from the canal. We were on our way to the Adventist hospital to get our typhoid shots and to check out the rash that I had developed as I was leaving California and had taken over all of my body, (which turns out is the worst case of poison oak I've ever had). So far were adjusting well to the time difference the kids are doing great and Kaiya is eating tons of bananas. The food has been marvelous and the people a great too I am looking forward to sharing more as time goes on and I can find time to update.
