chiang mai 1

arrived in chiang mai after a 6 hour bus ride yesterday. decent scenery and the road was better than I had expected but still alittle rough in places. muchdifferent than Bangkok, although still big enough with 1.6 million people. it was late afternoon when we got here, but found our guest house (very nice) and toured the markets (7 blocks of shopping heaven/hell). today we wandered around the old city, saw a few temples and a few sites. Lo and behold we found the Hash House Pub & Restaurant. It is a novel concept, I think we need to start one at home. Anyway, after a 5 hour lunch (was it slow service or good company and cold beer???) we headed back to our hotel. we may head back for dinner....

tomorrow we try and teach Aneeda how to cook. I will go along just for the entertainment.

miss you all!!

PS. I think I need to give up on pics. We are in a decent hotel here but still the connection is painfully slow and no USB port. If you want pics, do an internet seacrh of the places and picture Aneeda and I there. Remember I look like Russell Crowe and Aneeda is a white JLo. XXOOX
