Day Twelve
31st March

We spent some time in downtown Udon Thani. We took a jeep. They make two rows of bench seats facing each other. The fare for the ride is 8 baht each or about a quarter. We went to see one of Snow’s favorite noodle soup shops for lunch. We got bowls of noodle soup. Then we walked down the street doing some window shopping. There was a lot of police out on the streets, and no one was allowed to park. We found out later, that the Crown Prince’s daughter, the princess, was in town to visit. We missed the cavalcade. But we caught the footage on the news that night.

We went to a glasses and contact lenses shop. Since Alex broke my glasses for the first night. We got me a new pair of glasses and two boxes of contacts. We headed back to the hotel via the jeep. In the evening, Snow’s mom and aunts wanted to go to dinner with us, and we went to this restaurant that did the food for the wedding. But it was closed for some local dignitary… perhaps even the princess still in town. So we went to this other restaurant outside another hotel. It was a very slow night. In the distance, there was lots of lightning. Alex did her walking around the patio thing again, and she seem to warm up to the girls who are servers there. We headed back to the hotel around 8 PM. Snow’s aunt from Bangkok, Baumoo, headed back home. She was driven to the airport by Aunt Nenoy while the rest of us stayed at the restaurant. She came back to drop us off.
Snow got to watch one of her favorite Thai dramas running right now. The storm rolled in and we got to watch the lightning from our room on the 14th Floor. It finally started to rain overnight. Alex was up to 11 or so. She and I were playing on the bed. Where I was bouncing her off my foot and she was also climbing up on my leg, then falling down on purpose crashing and laughing on the bed.
