Sangkhlaburi Day 1

ICB has 3 ministry partners up in the Sangkhlaburi area, so we try to have at least one, if not two, annual weekend trips out there to visit them and see more of the work that they're doing. I was unable to go on the last two trips, but was determined not to miss this one, so signed up as soon as I could. There were only ten spots available, as we were only taking one van and once it's full, that's it.



May 4-6 was a holiday weekend, so we left Saturday morning bright and early and were on our way. It's a long drive, about 6 hours, as the Sangkhlaburi area is up near the western border to Burma. We made a stop in Kanchanaburi to pick up some supplies, get lunch, and visit the JEATH Museum. I've already been through the museum a few times, so I sat by the river while the others toured through.

Ora and her coconut ice cream...with corn, beans, and ....some other weird thing that shouldn't go with ice cream
 Arrived at our Guesthouse around 5pm, checked in and got settled, then headed out for dinner and a peruse of the night market.

I love that the restaurant just gave us free fruit after our meal :)
