Yesterday we got to ride an elephant, were pulled in an ox cart, floated down the river on a bamboo raft, visited a beautiful orchid farm and to top it off we ate Mexican food in Thailand--that was actually really good!
It was an awesome day. Chiang Mai has been definitely exceeded our expectations. The town is really into healthiness. There are organic, fresh restaurants everywhere with loads of vegetarian and vegan options. Seth and I had coconut soy ice cream for dessert yesterday-it was de-lish.
Earlier this week we went to a section of town where there are government backed stores that make specific products (i.e. paper, Asian umbrellas, teak furniture, silk, etc.) We bought a teak/rosewood chest. Our first real furniture purchase together! Dad, expect a call during the next month. It's supposed to arrive at a port in Detroit within a month or two. We gave the store your cell phone number.
We are flying to Luang Prabang (Laos) today. More soon.
You ate Mexican food in Thailand? Don't you remember Ireland???? How big is this chest :)
ReplyDeleteWhen do you get to ride the sedan chair?
ReplyDeleteChris still does not have computer access, so I read him your blog over the phone. He cannot stop laughing for me to continue reading.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys are havin a good time there! Reading the story about "foreigners" learning profanity because of camera problems reminds me of when Seth would reck his bike on campus, it would always be a big scene.
