Good morning.  It's Tuesday here and it's our last week of school for the semester.  Next week is juries and the week after is finals.  Crazy! 

This weekend was fun.  It hit us that we would not be able to live like this if we were in the states.  It's pretty amazing. We went into Bangkok for food on Saturday for Lonely Planet's proclaimed best Mexican restaurant at the Rembrandt hotel..called Senor Pico's.  We were a bit skeptical but the food was pretty good.  I mean, it was sort of texmex/deinitely Thai style (thai peppers next to the jalapeno's) but the guac was great and enchiladas and tacos I had were good! The best part was there was a live Cuban band playing..awesome.  It was exciting to hear Spanish again and Dave and I both felt like we were at home for a minute.

Then on Sunday we went into Bangkok again for food.  (I told you we wouldn't be living like this if we lived in the states). We took our friends out to a brunch at the Sheraton.  I'm not a fan of the buffet at all but this was good food.  A whole row of fish, lox, chilled oysters, and anything else you can eat in a half-shell...  A whole table of cheese (yeah, I spent most of my time here)...A place to order pizza, soup, pasta....A whole row of thai curries and rice..yummy...A table full of juices that can be turned into margaritas (Dave had a watermelon margarita that he loved but I thought was soo gross)....And the best part...desserts!  They had a choclate fountain! YUMMY.  You could dip bannanas and marshmellows in it.  ahhh..soo good!  We ate so much that we didn't eat anything else all day.

We're getting closer on wedding stuff...we'll hopefully have a contract by October 1st.  Then we will be official.  That'll be sweet.  YAY!
