Photos: Best of December

Click on photos to enlarge.

Kids play da-craw on sports day. It’s like volleyball only you can use your legs and head.

My typical lunch crowd.

Proof that the food is spicy even for the Thais. This is papaya salad.

A significant statue in Korat.

A nervous Erin moments before getting her ear pieced.

The after photo with accessories.

We did a lot of shopping and yes, Erin is tall.

The night market in Korat.

A sidewalk of tailors in Korat ready to fix that hole in your pants.

One of the few moments I felt the Christmas spirit.

Joe, left, and Josh enjoying their pipes on my porch.

Surin – look for the kitten drinking the glass of milk.

From the New Year’s party for my office. It’s barbeque, Thai style.

Just another evening in Surin as Erin feeds an elephant on New Year’s Eve.

Before I allowed Erin to paint my toenails. It looks like she’s about to eat them.

Oh, the things I let women do to me. I draw the line at my toenails.

Even sitting Erin is taller than my host mother.
