Weekend Trips

My apartment has been having serious internet problems so I haven't gotten the chance to blog about my work week. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll have a more reliable connection in the weeks to come. After a short work week, it's the weekend-- also, a surprise three-day weekend to celebrate asarna bucha, the beginning of "Buddhist Lent." Taking advantage of my time, I'll be going along with some coworkers to the ruins of Ayutthaya on Saturday and then for a short overnight trip to the beach near Pattaya for Sunday and Monday. I'm eager to get out of Bangkok and will take plenty of pictures.
