Jarrod and Sara’s Site

Thanks for all of the great messages. It is so nice to be in an internet cafe halfway across the world and get such nice messages from home.

We spent our first day in Bangkok exploring the city from 8am to 6pm. It is a great city to walk around in as there are tons of markets and people to look at. There are people and dogs everywhere, and cars, motorbikes, and three wheel tuk tuks. This all leads to tons of fumes and smog. The best part was walking around through the various markets where you can buy anything from food on the street, tools, watches, snakes, any who knows what else. It pays to be a good barterer though, we both had our first experience with this and boy do they drive a tough bargain. We also saw two of the three main temples Wat Arun and Wat Po which were pretty impressive. Hopefully we will hit the Grand Palace later today.

The food is great so far, we have tried red curry, phat thi, and some other different dishes with bamboo and hot chilis. It has been great so far but we havn’t dared noodles or rice for breakfast yet.

Check out our pics and we are thinking of you all!

Love, Sara and Jarrod

Hi guys! We are in Brooklyn NY at Evan’s humble abode getting the finishing touches ready for our big day. Just had some “serious” nachos with Evan and Katy at the Trailer Park Lounge in Manhattan, not bad for our last meal here in the US.

Thanks to all for the well wishes! Lets hope for some good movies and snacks on the plane. Sara and Jarrod

OK, so 6 days from now Jarrod and I will be on a plane to Bangkok. I am trying to figure out how to use this sweet sweet blog that Mark geeked up so you can all trace our journey. Here goes!
