Adventures in Traveling the World
We started our third day in Bangkok walking and finding some street food for breakfast; fried rice with egg and a smoothie, it was delicious. We have to take advantage of this wonderful street food and eat some every chance we can. We exchange money and head to the tailor to pick up Andy’s suit.

I must say sleeping under mosquito netting makes me feel protected and secure. Protected from nasty bugs and insects but not from Nosey, our resident gecko. It turns out when he’s not walking the walls of our bathroom, he hangs out on top of the bathroom door threshold. It really is nice that our bungalow has its own bathroom but the tin roof is...
