Ok. Long time since the last one but it is very hard to find something that resembles Hi-Speed Internet.  which also means that it May be a little longer before there are more pictures up there are more dont worry. I come to Chiang Mai every weekend to take a thai speaking class. Andd I aslo have some other activities to do on the weekends. Such as a cooking class tomorrow. During the week I go to Lamphun which is where the childrens home is where I volunteer. There are now 21 kids at the home and most of them do not even want to go home. The ages range from 3 to 15.  Mostly girls because they have had problems with older boys in the past. It is summer vacation for them right now so it is a little difficult to keep them occupied. And it is the hot season so some days its hard to even stay outside. The place is called Crostons House Childrens Home. only two people work there, the man who runs the place and he has a woman who also lives there full time to look after the kids 24/7. Now, I mean this in the best way possible, I do not know how they look after 21 kids (sometimes up to 30) with just 2 people. I am not sure if I could handle that!  most of the kids are well behaved and all get along, but its tough looking after so many kids. I have gone to other children homes in the surrounding areas and most all have a different purpose. There is one foundation that has 500 kids in it.  It is chaotic but those people try their best. I have been to lots of temples and have seen much of Chiang Mai and its surroundings and it is beautiful.  You may have read about the happenings in Bangkok and Pattaya with the government and the riots. But i do not have to worry. There are no people north up here that want any trouble. just FYI.    

Again I will try to get pictures up asap but it keeps freezing and is very slow. sorry. Next weekend I will be back in chiang mai and will keep updating. I love you and miss yu guys.   talk to you next week!
