Day 13-Chiang Mai

Custard Apple, it's amazing...

It was so amazing watching these elephants actually paint...

David had one elephant poking him in the chest and another playing with his head

I'll admit, they scared me a little

Chatting with the elephants

Today we ate Custard Apple—yumm. We also played with Elephants and Tigers—the pictures tell the stories better. And we finished our day by making paper from Elephant Dung…poop paper--hehehehehe, my maturity amazes me…

Day 11-Chiang Mai

Blurry Zebra

Our especially adventurous day started out with an amazing breakfast buffet. After digesting for 5 minutes we thought it would be best to go zip-lining. So, we drove out to a village with the company, “Flight of the Gibbon” and went flying through trees for about 3 hours. We covered about 2 km in zip lines—it was great! In the evening we went to the Night Safari in Chiang Mai--it was ok, really wet and rainy...but the animals were cool, our pictures aren't that great...but, you get the point!

Day 10-Chiang Mai

Funny Sign in our Hotel...

Today was low-key thankfully. We are pretty beat after yesterday. We went to the airport and arranged for airline tickets for our trip to Laos to visit Grant & Jolene Hillier (Jolene is one of David & Annabelle’s daughters). After that David and I went to the tailor and were measured to get some custom suits made. For lunch we went to a restaurant called, “Just Khao Soi,” Khao Soi is a curry-based noodle dish from Northern Thailand. As you can see the food was excellent! Tonight finds us practice our haggling again at the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar (we’ve improved significantly) and staying in downtown Chiang Mai at the Empress Hotel.

Day 9- Chiang Mai continued

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is located in the Doi Suthep National Park. It was pretty impressive and the view from the Wat was amazing. It was kinda neat seeing the rain clouds roll in. We finished Sunday with a visit to the Sunday walking market—where we perfected the art of haggling—did I say perfected? Ok, we sucked at it. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better in that regard. Finished the day by eating supper at the Jerusalem Café—some of the best Greek/Mediterranean food I’ve had in a long time—weird that I had to come to Thailand to have great Mediterranean food.
