A Lay Overnight in
Bangkok

We arrived in Bangkok just in time to grab a bite of that
delectable Thai food I had been missing at the open-air market, repack
including the stuff we had left in Bangkok, and go to bed, in order to get up
for our 7am bus to Hua Hin, a beach town where we would be having our Squad
Debrief. 

A Short Bus Ride

5 hours later we arrive at our hotel in Hua Hin. By far the
nicest place we have stayed on the World Race. I wonder, how much did my supporters pay for my week here? Probably
about $50 including my meals, transportation, etc. 

Chill Time with God,
and the L-Squad

Air-conditioning! I didn’t want to leave my room… but I did,
rarely. Debrief was a great chance for
me to catch up on sleep, get well physically (as I got sick the day of our
arrival), spend time alone (a rarity on the race) with God reading Scripture,
praying, etc., and enjoy the presence of the entire squad. Oh, and cut a chunk of Matthew’s nappy hair. It looks great now, all short and stuff.

One of the great parts of debrief is that we have team
meetings with our coaches and squad leaders. This meant Team Jubilee sitting down at a conference table with Mike and
Patti Paschall, our squad coaches, Jory, Weston, Katie, our new squad leaders,
and Andi and Sean, our old squad leaders. They then proceeded to ask us
questions about how our team is doing and things we need to work on. I am convinced that this will prove itself
rather beneficial for our team.

Hey, Hey, Can You
Turn Around? I am trying to get a picture.

Because we were in a beach town I figured I needed to at
least visit the beach once. Within 5
minutes of arriving I witnessed an overweight, old, white dude wearing a
thong. I took a picture. He looked back
at me sort of angrily. The water was great though. Very clear.

…but, Not Exactly The Best View in the World!
