THAILAND!! Part 3...

After our greeting of hugs, we were on our way to our first Thai meal :] YUM!! Btw, local time was 3 AM o_O

Once our bellies were full, went back to my cousin's beautiful house and crashed... 3 hrs later--our sleeping was all whacked! Woke up around noonish, got dressed, and headed out to eat (warning: there's going to be a lot of talk about eating during this adventure--that was 1/2 of our trip, haha). 

Haha... Cookie being silly with her eyes =)

And, more silliness...

Didn't know about this till I was looking through my phone, haha

Went for our late lunch and that's when Sophia learned about open-air dining--lots of local eateries in Thailand are open to the outside and are not often enclosed unless the restaurant has the a/c on--central air is not as common as it is here in the states. She definitely had to adapt, and adapt she did :) I'm telling ya, she's got natural skills for a world traveler :P Cookie complained about the occasional fly but that didn't last long. 

After that meal, we went to go see another aunt (who I consider as my 1st mother) that I haven't seen in YEARS! And finally have Sophia meet her!! (Another tearful reunion.) I felt like I was teleported back in time to an earlier part of my life. A part of me always wonders in moments like these of how my life would have been like if I had remained in Thailand... ever since I was a child, I always imagined that there was a parallel universe where I lived a different path than the one I'm on now--I wonder what's happening over there... sigh... 

I digress...

Anyhow... a couple hours of catching up and just a few hours of our lunch, guess what we did?? (Hint was given earlier in the post.)

DUH!!....

Just the first of MANY eating pics to come o_O

We ate, OF COURSE!!!! 

The only pic that's missing from here (that I am kicking myself in the butt for) is one of my mother-aunt and I!!! ARGH!!!! Oh, well, guess that means we just need to go back so I can get that pic, hahaha :) 

Not a whole lot happened this day but it was memorable nonetheless :D 

Great start to our trip, can't wait to share more soon!
