Before Matt and Cathy leave this week, we wanted to have one more adventure. At the last minute, we decided to take off to a nearby city called Ayutthaya. It was once the capital of Thailand and is filled with gorgeous Khmer ruins from the 14th century. 
After walking around in the blazing heat taking a gazillion Buddha photos, we headed to an elephant farm for a ride in the fields around the pagodas. These orange umbrellas over our heads made me feel as if I were in colonial India.
But the highlight of the day for Sojo (who did a rockin' job all day of being a trooper!) was when she met a 4-month old tiger cub and got to feed him a bottle. I know, crazy, but it was beautiful to watch her experience this. She talked about it all day, and it was the story she asked for tonight before going to bed. 
We topped off the long day with a small trick-or-treat excursion. Such a great day.
