Laurie's World

It must have been quite a day….and therefore how I earned by 2.5 hour nap this afternoon in the couch in the lobby of the hotel. Just saying……

Up bright and early at just after 7am…breakfast here starts at 7:30 which i was quite anxious for due to the fact that there is no coffee facility in the room! Not even a sip of Nescafé instant coffee (that delectable coffee specialty that Thailand is known for in some circles–right Terry??)

Toast, egg and fruit for brekkie….and a very yummy pineapple shake…nice touch!

After an awesome phone call with Rachael, we decided to go on a walk about. Despite this being our 4th visit to Chiang Mai…we know there is a lot in the old city we have not seen. And we were right….we went to some awesome temples (Wats) and saw some elephants and even cuter rabbits….we are always on the look out for rabbits ; ))

We also took a stroll through a local market where all I could imagine buying was a banana waffle.

Troy doesn’t understand why I am so fascinated with the waffles here as, in theory, I could get those at home. Yes I could, but they are just different here : )) and the corn especially is SO good!

Jackie….we did go by Riam’s temple and guess what? She was there!! She saw us before we saw her even! She got her hair cut 5 days ago!

Had massaman curry for lunch today at Ginny Place. Very good as i have been thinking about trying it for a bit now. Also thinking about starting a collection of pictures of signs we see here that are funny and/or make no sense. I know i need to be careful to keep my pg13 rating….but here are a couple chuckles we had today….

We had street food for supper tonight…there is a huge collection of mobile street carts that pop up right before supper all over the place….but we went over to Chiang Mai gate tonight. We had pomello, pad thai, pad see ewe, chinese donuts and a lemon shake for 120 baht….yes, that is just under $4 and we were stuffed.

Here is a picture of my new favorite massage place! The little massage lady is actually sitting in there….she waved at me after I took the picture….she might think I am a creeper now…I have no idea…but she certainly seemed happy when we came over to her tonight for a massage after supper! I forgot to ask her what her name is….but there is always tomorrow ; )
