Have no fear, we are still here! Sorry for the long delayed conclusion to the June post: A Tasty City. We accomplished what we set out to do; never repeating a dinner throughout the entire month. We definitely ate more western food in June than a typical month and ate at overall nicer establishments. It was a treat. Kudos go out to you who noticed I wasn't drinking in any of the postings! We are expecting our first baby around New Years. Enjoy reading this conclusion of our month of eating our way through Thailand! (Pictures in a collage or with one of us we took ourselves, while pictures by themselves were pulled from the internet.)
