There is really no point in looking at any forecasts. It just stays hot. We are supposed to get a thunder shower Saturday afternoon. That would be nice since it would cool things off for our evening out. Full report on Monday.
This week’s ‘Zany Day’ song was “The Wind Cries Mary” by Jimi Hendrix. Hey, here comes ‘Old School Friday’.
“I wonder wonder who, oouu who, who wrote __ __ __ __. I, I love you darlin’, baby you know I do. But I’ve got to see this __ __ __, find out why it’s true. I wonder wonder who, be-dooo, who, who wrote __ __ __ __.” Hint: This might be found in the library, but I doubt if the author was ever revealed.
This morning we decided to leave Chiang Mai early and just come home. There was nothing to do except hang around the hotel and then eat lunch at Central Festival. The big mall is always attractive, but there’s always something there that will want to come home with us (555). We had breakfast, and then packed up and left. At the front desk the usual routine is for the attendant to call upstairs to see if we’ve taken anything from the mini-bar. This time she just asked us and took our word for it. Both check-in and check-out were simplified, like old friends who came to visit. I like that.
Once we cleared the morning traffic, the first half of our trip was very smooth. With no stop for pie, we made excellent time back to Chiang Rai. Along the way we saw some amazing photo opportunities that we didn’t take, but appreciated. Imagine a drought-dry hillside with one bright green tree right in the middle, or a stoney stream winding through the landscape next to the highway. One of these days…
On Thursday we had an encounter at the hospital that I thought I should share. After we paid the bill, the clerk said, “Have a nice day, please”. It sort of surprised us at first, no one ever adds ‘please’. Hmm.
Today’s photo was taken from our hotel window. I think what we’re seeing is an old rain collector that filled the big tank. Someone planted a ‘garden’ in the collector, but without rain it just dried up.
Our little household was surprised to see us so early. We called ahead and told them we’d be home for lunch, but we usually don’t come back until late afternoon. Daku responded as if we’d been gone for weeks. It’s always good to be back home.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. Time for the ‘Funnies’.
Peace,
Danny
