Our final day of activities is bittersweet. We are sad to have to leave tomorrow but we have had an amazing day of biking in rice fields and kayaking on a lake in Lanna National Park.
While biking we enjoyed a beautiful view of rice fields, corn fields, temples, and local villages. A few of our students were able to learn how to ride bikes with great accomplishments. We are proud of them all.
During kayaking we learned how to paddle in all directions. Most importantly we learned how to get into a kayak when it gets tipped over.
Tonight we were treated to a very special evening called Khantoke – a traditional dinner and performances. We first enjoyed a delicious feast of fried chicken, basil pork, sticky rice and other dishes. We sat on carpets placed on the ground in an amphitheater and shared the food in groups of five. After dinner, we watched traditional Thai dance performances and a drumming and fire show. Some students even volunteered to join the last performance! All in all, this was an amazing last evening to an amazing week.
