Hi,
The morning fog over Chiang Rai was heavier than yesterday. Mr. Lag is still around, but we're putting up a good fight. Day two with no nap and we're hanging tough.
This week's 'Zany Day' song was "The Weight" by The Band. Now it's time for 'Old School Friday'.
"Took a walk and passed your house, late last night. All the shades were pulled and drawn, way down tight. From within a dim light cast two __ on the shade. Oh, what a lovely couple they made..." Hint: Hmm, kinda easy.
We're gradually getting back into our regular schedule. This morning while we got the van washed, we had coffee and conversation at Work@Home. Khun Katai, the owner, sat with us and we had a long talk about dogs and whether she would get another dog after the passing of Jonathan. We told her about our trip and she told us about local happenings. Before we picked up the van we went to Doi Chaang for a bag of coffee. We saw our friends Rachel and Tawee, from The Sold Project. That sense of community is back full-force.
This afternoon we sold the Vios. The car is gone. It was a great little car and it served us well. The cool thing about the new van is that it's not much wider than the car, which means it's not uncomfortable trying to squeeze through traffic. Today we saw two giant tour buses and realized how narrow they are. Most buses in the US are shorter and wider, providing more interior seating space. I'd be curious to see inside one of these giants some day.
This afternoon Cat called to remind us that she was going to a concert tonight in the park across from her school. She told us about it a few days ago. It's a band that she called 'Superstars', which means they're really good and very popular. It reminded me of Chuck Berry's song 'Sweet Little Sixteen', about a girl wanting to go to a concert. Do you remember those days?
The photo for today is one of the elephants in the parade yesterday. You can see the Clock Tower and the traffic back-up. We could see 'visitors' scrambling to get photos as the parade turned the corner. What a treat if you're from out of town.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. Stay tuned for a laugh.
Peace,
Danny
