Here are some pictures from my last weekend away

Our wonderful elephant carrying Jess and I across the River Kwai. He was so great! When Jess's soap fell out of her bag on our journey the elephant stopped and picked up both the soap and the case with his trunk! Our guide , "John" was great also! He made us both of the sweet hats that you can see us modeling on our ride. They were made from leaves, sticks, and flowers that he and our elephant procured along our ride.

The River Kwai.

Awesome cave at a waterfall we were visiting. The waterfall was not very full, so we got to climb around in it and see this cave!

Hellfire pass. POWs carved this pass by hand.

A beautiful memorial and view of the whole valley. The Bridge over the River Kwai

Other than that, I have just been busy doing a ton of grading and making midterms. I am going on a mini vacation to Phuket next week as we have Thursday and Friday off. I am so so excited and can't wait to relax on the beach for a while!!
