MudflatToday was my first leadership day! It was actually a pretty solid day! They first part was great! We just explored wildlife on this mudflat during low tide. We found millions of soldier crabs the would walk around in huge packs but if we walked towards them they would immediately dig holes and bury themselves in the wet sand. We found huge starfish, sand dollars, etc! I never see them at the beaches I go to for vacations. There are way too many people for any wild animals to come out or even live! After a while, Kat and I just sat n the wet sand and made drip castles on my legs. We also talked about how much this beach made us miss our beaches, home, and America a little! I have gotten pretty homesick in Thailand but I am finally feeling pretty settled. Too bad I’m leaving in less than 3 weeks!
I hate goodbyes and this program forces me to do them constantly! This host family will be the hardest. Salina is currently laying next to me in bed! She’s so great! We always chat and she’s so patient with me and so good hearted (jai di). She’s only 12 but she takes care of me! Anyways, back to the day…we came back and went to the Natural Resource Management Department. It was really interesting because it was so scripted and they really have no power to do anything effective.
