The road to the "waterfall in the mountains". It was flat like this for awhile, then hilly.
We had to ditch the bikes and walk into the bamboo forest for awhile.
We walked forever and I was starting to think there wasn't really a waterfall but then we came across it!
The girls on top of the waterfall.
After swimming we had some sticky rice, grilled chicken and guava.
We had a really fun time at the waterfall so much in fact that one weekend when Stoney visited we went back. This time my co-teacher and another teacher from the school came with us.
The water was a little lower this time but I almost died when 3 of my students decided to hold me under water. Seriously I was seconds away from death.
Some of the boys caught these little tiny fishes and then started a camp fire to cook them. The lovely lady in the white shirt is my co-teacher Cruu Ning!
A few weeks ago the students told me they have a new place to take me, I couldn't figure out what they were saying but they promised me it was a "Sacred Place".
To get there most of the students had to double up on bikes. It is a very cute process. When they come to a hill the one on back jumps off and pushes.
The stick is to scare away the dogs that chase bikes.
We arrived and it looked sacred enough but I soon found out that we were just here to swing on the really really big vines.
Nan, one of my 6 grade girls. Her grandmother brings me sticky rice every Monday and Tuesday. She told me I was like her daughter.
After swinging the students wanted to go to a noodle stand. The noodles were only 10 Baht!!
This was my bowl. I ordered no blood but got it anyway. It was supper yummy. (The noodles not the blood, I gave the blood to one of my students.)

I have tried to find the noodle stand again but can't. It is like a secret noodle stand.
