Dancing Shrimp

Leah and I usually spend Saturday night relaxing, watching DVDs in our room or spending time with the church family.  Last night was a different story.  We traveled with Amanda, who is a missionary from Australia, and our school missionary with a bunch of other Thai people to a river.  We were all traveling to see shrimp travel upstream, and it only happens once a year.  

The car ride was very long.  It took about two hours and very bumpy, we were traveling towards the border of Laos, Thailand and Cambodia.  When we arrived, it was really dark outside.  We could barely see anything.  It wasn't much of anything, we couldn't really distinguish what we were looking at, just some creatures crawling on the rocks along the river, going upstream.  

It was still fun.  We all laughed and took lots of pictures with the park rangers.  They seemed to enjoy taking pictures with us.  Leah has this idea now to take her piggy, "Mr. Squiggly", with her everywhere and take pictures with him. It's cute and funny, we made a ranger take a picture with him... It was a different way of entertaining ourselves for a Saturday night, but it was fun.
