One word and one word only is needed to describe Thai massage-OUUUUUUUUUCH! Dave and I had our first massages this weekend. We felt surprisingly relaxed afterwards but it was a painful 2 hours. I can't believe the price though...around $10 each for 2 hours! I think we'll try a different style next time. When we were laying on our tummy's, they were walking on our backs and legs and most of it felt great but there were certain spots were we couldn't hold it in. We were both trying to be tough but it didn't work. My back feels a little sore today but for the most part I feel great.

We had some fun this weekend..not too much or anything. ha. We finally broke down and bought some comforts that we've been missing. By the way..it rocks having granola every morning! I haven't even touched the peanut butter yet...I'm holding out. Anyway, we bought an electric water heater so that we can take hot showers..YAY! We bought a water stand so we can drink cold or hot water at any point and not have to buy small bottles of water constantly AND we bought a DVD player. How exciting is that!

In addition to all that fun stuff, Dave cleaned the cockroach bathroom so that it'll be usable to our guests, and I hung up the fabric we bought for curtains. I was going to get the fabric hemmed, but oh well.

Dave and I got our work permits on Friday..exciting! It's funny they took us to that office first becuase our visas (another office) expire on August 17th! We go in on August 15th to extend them for the year but then we have to get our work permits re-stamped. Crazy! We are also getting our rabies shots on Wednesday..YAY! Then I'll feel more confident around the street dogs..right now I'm frightened but once I get those shots...Look out nasty dogs!

That's all for now. Have a great week!
