Hiking Across the World...Or Like 6 Miles

You know you are traveling with a good person when you hear from your B&B hosts, "There is a 6 mile hike that takes 4 hours..." and without even hesitating both of you look at each other and say, "Oh hell ya!".   Anyone that knows the Sunday family knows that we are hiking people, so I was pretty stoked to find out I could hike on the cliffs of Santorini and maybe get an ice cream at the end.

 We started the day with pouring rain, which made me want to cry cause all I have wanted to do is take some fabulous pictures of the cliffs and houses I wished I owned.  I don't know who or what heard this from above, but as soon as we pulled up to the town of Fira, the clouds parted, sun shine poured down, and im pretty sure I saw unicorns dancing about.  I was a happy girl.  So...our 6 mile hike began!


We trecked for hours, stopping every two minutes to either say, "Oh myyy loooord this is amazing" or take pictures of the same things eight times just from different angles.  We felt pretty hard core by the time we got to the other end of the mountains and were rewarded with another unreal sunset, and obviously a frozen product from Nestle. 



We hopped on a bus to take our tired little feet home and just in time for me to snap a picture of Fira winding down for the day, or just starting up depending on how you look at it!  What a perfect day...thank you weather for not raining on my parade!


Next up, a little ATV cruising through the island.  Shhh....Dad, don't look.

Yes, finally. We found it. The combination of Thai Drag Queens (Lady Boys) and American show tunes. That, paired with Thai Mexican food, and I had quite a night in Chiang Rai! While mom devoured a whole fish and I tried to keep my food down from looking at the fried cockroaches, we enjoyed a delicious LadyBoy show, which you should as well, below: They were fab and we loved them. The best was when they would yell at each other to bow and to step right instead of left. No matter what country, a diva is a diva. Yesterday, mom had the genius idea instead of taking a 4 hour bus ride straight from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, we would instead do a tour and just have them drop us at the end. Note to anyone: this is WAY better than being stuck on a bus for a few hours. We got to see some great stuff, my fav being the White Palace. It was this weird combo of super tacky beauty and a mesh of American humor. I couldn't take pics on the inside, but the temple was covered with images of Superm

Just to the Right of Burning Man

 And we venture!  After making a few necessary pit stops, Target for a car seat so Noah could face forward, In n’ Out because, um, Noah needed it, we pointed to the East and said, sure, why not.   Our first few hours were great indications for how a lot of this road trip will go.  Breaking out the good snacks already and yelling to each other “we’re doing it!!!!”.   Then immediately burning through all the toys I brought for this little boy and learning that as much as I plan and researched all the top ten lists of best road trip toys, there is nothing like the reality of sitting in the back of an RV while your kid screams at you to bring you right back down to offline life.    Peaceful snooze for a few hours, thank goodness  Our RV, while comfy and immediately homey, sounds like a maraca inside a wind tunnel.  So, all toys with any portion of audible enjoyment are out.  Great.  And all my magnetic tiles and letters that I pictured Noah playing with endlessly to create the words he lov

Yesss...12 hour flight down, another 4 hour flight to go until Bangkok! I am in probably the cleanest airport I have ever placed foot in; im nervous to be here cause I feel like they are going to bust me for not showering in the last 15 minutes. My mom and I keep looking at eachother saying, "what are we doing here?? Are we really doing this trip?". I love that I get to share this with her, this is for sure the ballsy-est trip we have ever done. So far I want to eat everything in sight and put as many spicy sauces on it to burn my tongue until I return to the states in 2 months. I also feel like there was a time I thought I was semi-trendy with my fashion; now I am being put to shame and we aren't even out of the airport yet. More to come soon, see you in Bangkok!
