The weather in Chiang Rai is the same as yesterday. Actually, the daytime was a little hotter. This week has been the first time I’ve worn just a T-shirt during the day in a long time. Our four-day weekend will be a real vacation from the chilly nights here. Temps at night will be in the mid 70s. That’s 30 degrees warmer. Hmm.
The ‘Easy Monday’ song was “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder. That means it’s time for a ‘Zany Day’ song. I think you’ll remember this one: “One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small. And the ones that mother gives you don’t do anything at all. Go ask Alice, when she’s ten feet tall.” Hint: The two word title is not in the lyrics of this song. The group’s name is a kind of flying machine.
Daku was very casual about the suitcases on the floor. The frenzy won’t come until we close them up in the morning. He’ll have plenty of company while we’re gone so he won’t be lonely.
I really like the ‘relationships’ we have with the people we shop from around town. We mostly buy fresh food from the same group of folks and even some that we don’t buy from, give us smiles of recognition. Part of this comes from the fact that there is no rotation of staff like in a supermarket. Every day the same people are there, selling their vegetables or fruit, cleaning fish, or serving food. The longer we persist in shopping with them, the more ‘chatty’ they get. It’s fun, and keeps that ‘small town’ vibe going strong.
Meanwhile, back at the Wanderer, we visit what is called the ‘Drip Room’ with it’s indoor tree. This room will have slow coffee brewing techniques as its main feature. No steam driven coffee, just old-fashioned drip methods. The second photo is the waterfall with its lush foliage and soothing sounds.
It’s time to start gathering the few clothes that are going to Pattaya. With warm temps there is no need for a lot of bulky ‘warm clothes’.
It’s time for Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
