Today was another amazing day. We got up early this morning and went to the Floating Market. We were able to look at the different venders and was able to buy different gifts. I (Brandon) purchased some homemade soap and candles. We were also given some gifts. One gift was a corsages made from fish scales. They are beautiful. Another one of the gifts were our shirts (seen in the picture). We also had an opportunity to ride in an boat along the Floating Market (picture above).
After the Floating Market we went for lunch along the river. Weena (my host sister, also seen in the above picture) ordered some different dishes. Even at restaurants their way to serve the meal is to bring the different dishes to the table and we all share. Instead of us ordering individual meals. The dishes never seem to have a lot of food on it but there is also so much. The food is very good and sometimes really spicy.
Following lunch, we were treated to an hour long foot massage. What an amazing experience. Though their massage technique seem rough, it was really relaxing. The thai people are really in to massage. I look forward to having another one real soon.
Tonight we are meeting the District Governor and a party for us. I am looking forward to trying the food and meeting all the Rotary Clubs. There are nine clubs in the Bangkok area.

Please share my greetings with Governor Wichai.
All is well here ... it even warmed up to 30 today and a lot of the snow has melted over the past several days.
Wish I was there with you.
All my best to the team.

Dear Gerry,
Nice to hear from you. This is the first time since coming that I have been to a cyber cafe. The team is having a great time. Right now Kim is visiting an upscale hair salon. Brandon is here with me and sends her regards. She is pointing out architecture that we would normally miss. All of us soon go with Lee to get a cooking class. Yesterday we all met at the courthouse to meet several judges, ask them questions, and see real trials. We are seeing so much of Thailand that we would never have a chance to see with Rotary.
I speak for the team when I say thank you for giving us the amazing opportunity.
