Meg and I have been enjoying Chang Mai alot, its a great mix of up country thailand and modern traveler services. Over the past couple days we have visited a few wats (temples), we had thai massages on Sunday and regular massages on wednesday. The food here has been incredible. We have had northern thai food, vegetarian Chinese-Thai food, Spanish-Thai tapas, Greek food, American style breakfasts, and some really interesting food from street stalls. All of it was exceedingly tasty and very inexpensive (except for one upscale splurge).

We rented a scooter one day from a thai guy named Jimmy at our guest house. Within minutes we got lost trying to find the map store. The picture below was taken shortly after we figured out where we were; we thought it wouldn’t be to hard to adjust to the Thai driving style (which we learned is basically do whatever you want). Notice the “I’m glad im still alive” look on my face.

We took the bike up the mountain which looms over Chang Mai.

There is a temple perched on the top of the mountain, which we visited briefly. When we return to Chang Mai, we are going to take a taxi up to the temple for the sun set, which is supposed to be amazing. ( we decided riding a scooter down a mountain in the dark was a bad idea, so we didnt stay very long).

Meg and I are departing Chang Mai in about an 30 minutes. We are heading to a tiny town called Pai, whcih is about 4 hours north of Chang Mai. It is supposed to be very relaxed, quiet, and beautiful. We will be returning to Chang Mai on Sunday; Since Pai will most likely not have any internet, we will post more pictures and stories on Sunday when we get back.
Thanks to everyone for the comments, we read them regularly, and they make us laugh. We love you all.

Also, Congratulation Brian and Sarah! They have welcomed their son into the world.
