Happy 4th of July to all the folks back home! Hope you play safe with your pyrotechnics!!!!!

I hear the weather is on the uptick! That is awesome….please have that all still in line for us when we return ; )

Having brekkie right now….had an awesome FaceTime visit with Jay this morning! That was nice….took her on a tour of the hotel and she sat with us on our table for a bit while we ate. Almost like having her here! : )))

We had a great day yesterday…Very proud of ourselves as we decided to walk up to the Chiang Mai university and then take a tuk tuk home. We actually ended up walking both ways….with a small stop at Swensens (yes….we did this in honour of you Terry!). My goodness that part of town is very different than where we normally spend our time in the old city. I think it means something different to be a student here than at home. The students must have a lot more money here than everyone else. You can just tell by the shops and restaurants and stores. There is no street food and all the shops have doors and are air conditioned vs open air with fans in our neck of the woods. I felt immediately better once we crossed the moat and got back to our comfort zone. (even with the little walk past the women’s prison) … No big deal! It is kind of interesting…

Ang…saw this sign and beverage opportunity and it made me think of you; )

We got some photos printed for Riam and Sopa (I do still have to give her a call). Did some laundry, had a massage and ate supper at Ginny Place. That was the sum total of our 4th….

Apologizing in advance Jackie…but am gonna have to talk a little about sweat…Here is me having a sundae at Swensens….and as always when I see pictures, I am amazed at how prominent the sweat is ; ))

We both wear our packs over one shoulder, so we get this nasty diagonal stripe of sweat…

Troy had Tom Yum gai for lunch today…and it was yum indeed!!
