It’s my last week in the village and I’m feeling nostalgic so I thought I’d take everyone on a trip down memory lane. Here’s some photos from my first year in Peace Corps Thailand.
January 2009-March 2009: Oh the days of language training. I was supposed to be listening to directions in Thai to find a bag of candy.
March 2009: Trip with my PST (pre service training) host family to see the monkeys in Lopburi.
April 2009: First month at site and first Song Kran.

July 2009: School field trip to the Sukothai Historical Park
August 2009: Discovered a cave during the peak of my “I-like-to-take-ridiculously-long-bike-rides-on-the-weekends” phase
September 2009: First trip down south, one of many terrible sunburns
October 2009: Loy Kratong festival comes early
