Chiang Mai being so amazing, it requires several separate entries. This is our last full day there- at the flower festival. We had moved out of our very inexpensive hostel and into a moderately priced one, which showed in the very quaint arrangements. It was a dutch hostel and they had expensive (well normal american prices, but for us expensive) and delicious food. Shane even enjoyed Shepherd's Pie. Suekoilya went ahead of us to Phuket, so thus began the part of the trip with just us. Fortunately, that day began a three day "Flower Festival" which we took advantage of, and it reminded me of the Maryland state fair in its atmosphere, but add a whole fleet of floats made entirely out of flowers. It was such a beautiful thing to see and best part-it was free! After traipsing all over town looking for laundry, we found this great fair.
A very old temple.
They had foot massages at the fair- so I had to jump in on that!
Even better...they had ICE CREAM and SORBET for 10 bhat- for us thats like 2 yuan (very reasonable even for us) and for you americans thats like 30 cents. I, needless to say, had 3 cones.
This is our last day in Chiang Mai, on the way to PHuket for the last week of the trip. On the way to our tuk-tuk towards the airport, I tripped on a hose that was left out on the steps, carrying several heavy bags. I severely hurt some muscles in my foot/ankle. Now, 3 months later, I am much better but not totally healed. I am not sure if I will be.
Didn't want to end on a bad note...I LOVE this picture of Shane and I at the festival, and a reminder of sort of a second (or 3rd) honeymoon.
