Hi,
Today was a day of 'firsts'. Read on and find out what they were.
This weeks 'Zany Day' song may not win any literary awards, but it was a fun thing to do at parties, once the feet did what was necessary. (555) "Now everybody is doin' fine, they dance alone or in a big boss line, and they discovered it's the most, man, the day they did it to 'Please Mr. Postman'. __ __, deliver de letter, it's the latest, come on baby...." Clue: Two words for something that goes well with gravy.
We drove to Chiang Mai this morning for the first time in our new vehicle. I was impressed at how well it handled on the highway, at speed. The hills and mountain passes were no problem and passing was similar to the performance of the Vios.
After finishing with our appointments in Chiang Mai we decided to make our first visit to the new mall. It's called 'Central Festival' and it's the largest mall to be built by the company that builds such complexes in Thailand. We only scratched the surface of this 5 story monster. Next week we'll investigate deeper. We did discover an ice rink, an art exhibit, and a cutaway of a Song Taew, the local, low-priced form of transportation that's used throughout the Kingdom. Today's photo shows me ready to take you for a ride.
For the first time ever, we returned to Chiang Rai on the same day. We usually stay overnight and return the next day. The round trip was a lot of driving, but we had a bunch of CDs that I uncovered in the cleaning of my music room. The CDs were 'archives' that I had assembled many years ago before we left the states. Lots of oldies for sure. They were in no particular order so we didn't know what the next song would be. It was like six hours of surprises.
The only thing that wasn't a first was the stop at Charin Gardens for pie (555). One stop going and another on the way home. Yum.
Have a Thrilling Thursday.
Peace,
Danny
