Thanks Nate, for a refreshing Sunday!

Sometimes, we just need to break away, even if just for a brief moment, from normal life. In my case, normal life would be college life. And that was exactly what we did yesterday evening. Nate was so thoughtful to invite Vivian and I for a relaxing drive in the countryside.

We came across some ostriches with their gaping mouths, disproportionately humongous bodies, and their "miniature version of dinosaur feet." We also found them in the menu of a quaint eating place: Ostrich Steak. Ugh.

We were so disgusted by the menu and the price of food that we left to another eating place. To our relief, there were no ostriches to be found there. (The only ostrich we found there was a statue of one.) We huddled comfortably in a tiny sala as we enjoyed our food, the kind we haven't had for such a long time.

On our way back (with slightly bloated tummies), we missed the nearest U-turn, and spent about 20-30 minutes on the highway. The sights and sounds of Muak Lek at night is so different from the day. I felt so refreshed!

Nate, if you're reading this, let's do it again, and soon!
