For the past week I have been enjoying the Song Kran Festival. Basically it started as a tradition to bless the elderly by kneeling and pouring water on their hands. However, over the years it has become a week long national festival. It is a time where the country has a nation wide water fight and party. During this time, if you are outside you are fair game, and should expect to get wet. Below are some pics from the festival in Bang Saen at The LC.
We ran a hose from The LC to the street to fill up buckets and tubs. We then put ice in the water and sometimes this chalk stuff that Thai people use along with the water. Then we pretty much get anyone walking or driving by wet. But we are not safe ourselves...those driving by usually are carrying many people and much water to fight back.

Some S.K. action.
It's been good times so far. I did get the worst sun burn that I have ever had before...but I am almost recovered fully.

I will never forget the sunburn I got in Thailand... it still haunts me sometimes. I will NEVER forget sunscreen again... I just think of that burn, and Adam Sandler singing the suntan lotion song in Billy Madison.
wahoo...I get to look forward to burnt red swollen feet. I can't wait. Hey buddy - do you have rob and judy's email addy?

Looks like an absolute blast, Jordan...I can't even imagine a week long water fight!
