Hi,
The funny weather continues here in Chiang Rai. When we got up this morning it was the coldest it's been all week. This afternoon was one of the hottest days this week. Hmm.
The 'Wild Card Wednesday' tune was "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys. Our 'Old School Friday' song is actually younger than 'Good Vibrations' but it's got that Old School vibe that I couldn't resist. See if you remember:
"I remember when I used to play shoot 'em up (shoot 'em up, bang, bang baby). I remember when I chased the girls and beat 'em up. But I was young and didn't understand. But now I'm a grown up man... My whole world has been rearranged. I went from __ __ __, oh yes I did, __ __ __" Hint: It's R&B from late '69.
This morning I met our traveling friends at Doi Chaang. After a swing through the vegetable market we drove south of town to Wat Rong Khun. I was surprised at how crowded it was when we got there. There were huge tour busses creating traffic jams, and lines of people crossing the road. When we got to the parking area it was almost empty, and inside it didn't feel crowded at all. There are many things to do on the grounds of the complex. There is a new wishing well structure that drew a lot of attention. It's a domed pool with a lotus flower under the water. People were tossing coins and saying prayers. We got to see it just before a tour filled in all the spaces. Since the whole place is a work in progress it changes all the time. The travelers, Tony and Sherry enjoyed the 'tour' and took lots of photos.
We left the temple and went to our house and after a tour of the house and Lisa's studio, we had lunch. Then I took them to the Hill Tribe Museum so they could do some exploring on their own. It's fun to show visitors around and explain a few of the things we've learned about life in Thailand.
Tomorrow we will entertain two more travelers from the U.S. We'll be going to an afternoon patio party and then attending the opening of a photographic exhibit at Praatap Jai in the evening.
Our friend Poui will join us at our house on Sunday for lunch. She's back in Thailand for a brief stay and then it's off to Australia again to be with her husband Jimmy. Looking forward to getting a 'update' and sharing what we've been doing.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.
Peace,
Danny
