Travel Day to the Border

---

Today we had our final chores and then got ready to leave early afternoon. We journied to Chaing Mai city to the main office to collect t-shirts, medical supplies and some of the soda and sweets were missing at the park. It took a long time to get everybody in one place and ready to leave. Even then we made a long stop at a huge mall to get blankets and m&m’s for the road so it was a slow start. Finally, we left and were made as comfortable as you can be when we are in a minivan all night. When we stopped for dinner, we got free cake because we are going to help the dogs, which was delightful. That dinner was the first time in a long time that I’ve said I’m a vegetarian and passed up an appealing meat option. A decision I’m mulling over making permanent. We drove all night and arrived at 6am. Drowsy anti-histamines gave me some sleep as I’m finding that without them I just break out with this allergic reaction, felt like a bit of a leper but at least there was cake.

Love Katie xx
