Hi,
The nights in Chiang Rai are in the low 50s. It feels colder than that, but I guess it's because the afternoon's are so hot. In spite of weird sleeping times we managed to get a lot accomplished today.
It appears that only a few of you remember the 'Easy Monday' song. It's never as good as the first time, but here's more: "Coast to coast, L.A. to Chicago, Western male. Across the North and South to Key Largo, love for sale... No need to ask, he's a __ __, __ __, __ __." Hint: To give you a real hint would be the sweetest taboo.
One of the things we brought back from America was a digital clock that projects the time on the ceiling. It's in the shape of a rocket ship. Last night we went to bed at 9:30 and we both recall starring at the ceiling around 3 and 4 o'clock. We eventually got up at 5:30am, much to the delight of Daku. When I took him out it was totally dark and very cold. I hope this changes soon.
This morning, while Lisa got a massage, I went into town to the bank. The hustle of downtown felt strange since the street is narrow and parking is scarce. After finding a parking place and paying the 'meter lady', I managed to take care of business. It was so nice to just pay 4 Baht (12 cents) for parking.
We went to Big C right after lunch, figuring that we had a small window of time before Mr. Lag would show up. There are still some items missing from the shelves and that surprised us. The supply chain from Bangkok is still a little shaky. We got what we needed and came home for a nap. The Australian Open has started and that seemed like the perfect thing to send us to dreamland, but it was a restless proposition. It's going to be a slow adjustment back to 'Thai Time'.
We had dinner in the Night Bazaar with Rachel and Shannon from The Sold Project. Shannon is a new volunteer with the project and has been in Thailand for a week. We talked of many things, had a great meal, and made plans to visit Rai Maefarluang on Thursday to see Chalit's photography exhibit of portraits. It's turning out to be a busy, but wonderful week.
Have a Happy Tuesday.
Peace,
Danny
