Today, we sang in Thai.

Picture this: a group of 7 women and 1 man under a pine tree gathered around a guitar and song lyrics... the only twist: the song lyrics are in thai. For those of you who don't know, the Thai language is a tonal language. It has approximately 44 consonants, 32 vowel sounds, and 5 separate intonations. Needless to say, we don't sound great. We have a few strong vocalists in the group (my friends and family know by reading that I am NOT one of those) but we are laughing so much together.

Tonight is our grand debut. We are performing our song for the larger group. I feel like we are a makeshift Von Trappe family... and I am Kurt.

All that to say, we are having a good time. Today was BEAUTIFUL. Everyone is wearing some sun on their faces as we head into our evening session.

So long, farewell;
Blythe
