Easter


I hope everyone had a nice Easter. The Easter Bunny did not exactly find us in our hotel room here in Chiang Mai, but we did go for a terrific Easter brunch at a local restaurant. They had all kinds of food, most including fried pork, but also lots of desserts and fruit. Ana and Max got to play some traditional Easter games like hunting for Easter eggs and trying to put the egg on a Coke bottle with chopsticks. Catherine (my mom) went to an Easter worship service and learned how the Thais are constantly finding ways to pay respect to their elders: asking for blessings, advice, etc. She is starting to feel a bit entitled to some extra respect just by virtue of her wisdom and experience in the world. All in all, it was a nice holiday, and by the end we were all getting ready for Songkran (Thai New Year) by spraying water on each other.
