poolside.

yumi may have already written about this....but we found the mae sot central hotel!! sunday afternoon, under the scorching sun, we set out on our bikes and found it, like 20 minutes from the downtown area, somewhere off the main highway. it was so nice. there was a bamboo bar AND a massage hut. andy said it was pretty obvious that we were from "the other side of town," showing up with our backpacks and me, looking like complete trash, swimming in my clothes. but its a feeling i've grown quite comfortable with - we've decided that most of the time i look like one of the lost boys from peter pan. but it didn't matter. we sat by the pool in those nice lounge chairs, reading our books and getting sunburned. caroline from canada came to meet us, we ate at the hotel restaurant. and on the way home we stopped for popsicles. it was the greatest day.
tonight i think we're going to rent a dvd...we try to only do it once a week cause its so expensive. and we've developed a taste for only those movies that are completely, utterly detached from reality. cartoons of any kind. star wars. a series of unfortunate events. the chronicles of narnia. we love it :)
alright, i guess that's its for now.
hope everyone is doing well, miss you all xoxoxox
annie and yumi
