Weekend!

This past weekend was the first weekend I spent with my host family.

On Saturday, I went to my host sister's ballet lesson.  When she was done, my host dad took us to a wat at the top of a mountain that is visible from the city below.  It is so beautiful!  Apparently Chiang Mai University students walk all the way up the mountain to visit the wat every year.  That must be quite the hike, because it took us a while to make it to the top driving on the winding street that leads to the top.

On Sunday I went to Indy's ballet lesson again in the morning.  Then we went to a supermarket to pick up some groceries, I stopped by the bank to exchange some money, and we ate lunch at none other than McDonalds.  The menu was pretty much a paired down version of the ones in the U.S.  The inside was much nicer though...we sat on upholstered chairs and couches with cushions.  Classy.

Later in the day, my host dad and I sat at a coffee shop while Indy had a piano lesson, and then we stopped by a store so that I could by a couple more uniforms for school.

This week, we start a lecture class in the afternoons.  Now it's starting to feel like regular school again, as we have received our first assigned reading of the semester.  Tomorrow is another cross fit day.  Hopefully I hold up a little better this time!
