Today was a LONG driving day! We left Bangkla at 6:15am and drove to Chaing Mai. We arrived at 8:30pm. We did 4 potty break stops and 2 meal break stops. Not too bad! It usually takes 11 hours to get to Chaing Mai, but because of the flooding, we went a long way around and that is why it took so much longer. It was worth it though- we had clear roads, no signs of the flooding, and traffic was not bad. OK...well traffic is always a little crazy here!

| Doug drove the whole way there. The roads are like England- where you drive on the other side and steering wheels are on the other side of the vehicle. |
We had a lot of fun on the ride. We sang old songs from bible schools, talked, laughed, napped, and ate. It was a great time for us to bond as a team.
We are staying in a really nice hotel in Chaing Mai called "The Park". Two of the women in our group are online teachers and so we had to stay somewhere with wi-fi. So it worked out well as we ended up in a nice place!

After we unloaded, we headed down near the street market to eat at Burger King! Funny! I was not very hungry and just nibbled on a Whopper. We headed back to the room, showered and I tried to call my family on Skype, only to realize that the wi-fi for the hotel does not support any apple devices, so my ipad won't get Internet here! :( I am typing this on a friends lap-top, so I may not be able to update every day as I had hoped!
That's about it for today! Clinics start tomorrow!
