Hi,
The weather in Chiang Rai is slowly moving into 'total' hot season. The mornings are not as cold, which means that soon it will be warm all night and hot all day. Hmm, just when I was getting used to this current pattern. We also realized that it's hard to judge the seasons here. Read on for details.
The 'Zany Day' song still lives in many hearts. I'm not surprised since it was such an iconic production and concept.
"He's a __ __ __, there has to be a twist. A __ __ __, s'got such a supple wrist. 'How do you think he does it? I don't know! What makes him so good?' He ain't got no distractions, can't hear those buzzers and bells, don't see lights a flashin', plays by sense of smell...." Hint: The year was 1969 and the idea of a Rock Opera seemed a little far-fetched, but it worked.
Today we tried something different. The plan was to go to HomePro for a few items. Instead of taking the usual route, we drove to the 'Airport road', which is a new highway designed to bypass the central part of town. The road is fairly straight and goes directly to the south end of town. It is clear that developers see this as the next big area for the 'new' population of Chiang Rai. At one intersection there were giant signs for condo projects planned for three of the corners. There were many apartment complexes near completion, and to our surprise, not one coffee shop. Now there's an opportunity. (555)
Cat had to go back to school today for meetings with teachers. When I picked her and Pown up, one of the first things they said was that they wanted to swim again. Cat's sister sent Lisa a jar of honey that was clearly not from a store. There were bees in the honey. What? I guess that makes it truly organic, or something. The girls connected one of our tiny speakers to Cat's phone by the pool and the sound of Thai rock music and laughter filled the air. Spring is here.
Lisa made a profound observation today. The 'season' is clearly spring, with flowering trees, nesting birds, and the usual colorful flower beds. In other ways it feels like fall, with many trees dropping leaves that blow about in the afternoon. What season is it, really?
Today's photo was taken at Art Bridge the last time we were there. The artist was painting scenes based on the view from the restaurant. I really enjoyed his use of color and the detail he got with tiny brushes.
Have a Thrilling Thursday.
Peace,
Danny
