Laurie's World

We got in to Chiang Mai around noon! It is just as awesome as I remember! There is some sad news to report….but I will get to that in a minute.

The first order of business was to check into our hotel, The Chiang Mai Boutique House, get everyone settled…..

and then get down to Ginny’s Place for lunch. I had Pad See Ewe for you Ruby!! So very good!!

Then after a nice visit with Ian (captain Bob), we headed over to Sopa’s for a foot massage. Well as we turn down the alley to go to her place….something is very different! The bar across from her has expanded out into the street and there are lights up and stuff. We get to Sopa’s and I look in to see if I see her…the girl at the table outside the door gets up and when I ask her if Sopa is here….she says “no” and that Sopa sold the the shop to someone else!! We are shocked and saddened : ((

So dazed and confused we wander off, aimlessly at first….after a bit, we find ourselves back at our hotel….there is a massage place right across the street called “Golden Hands Massage”. So for 150 baht we can have a foot massage ($5). Given that it s RIGHT across the street….it seems like its worth a try….and the end result, I can tell you, is like angels are watching over us! Amazing amazing ladies in there…worked their magic and we WILL be going back : )

Now…BK….here is a test for you….do you recognize this street corner? There has been one change since you saw it last…..let me know what you think.

And Amber….I’ve been reading the book you recommended! Having a hard time putting it down….but did manage to do so to write this blog…and hopefully long enough to go get some supper ; )

Trying to decide if I have the energy to hit the big Sunday market! Prolly will muster that up as it likely where my supper is going to come from!

Also going to include this little picture I took at Ginny’s Place bcz I think it’s funny! Look carefully…
