Pai Days 2 & 3

Another gorgeous day in Pai has passed, let's catch up. Yesterday we drove
out to a waterfall and went swimming, it was nice and cold, a great break from
the heat. Lots of neighborhood kids play there becasuse you can slide down the
mossy rocks into pools of water. Unfortunately, I wiped out and scraped my elbow and Lauren jumped on a rock and hurt her foot! But nothing serious, we trekked on!

After sunbathing for a bit we headed up to a Buddhist temple on a
hill overlooking the entire town of Pai. It was very peaceful and quiet, with
great views. We mailed some postcards and did some window shopping, I bought a really comfy hammock. Its very colorful too, and it takes the tribal woman 4 days to make by hand!


We met our English friend Anna for dinner (she took the bus with us here), and ate some very unique garlic bread and bruschetta before dinner. After that we stopped by Ting Tong for a drink and politics. Then we heard about a party under a bridge outside of town, very near our hut. We only had one motorbike but somehow managed to make it there without getting lost! It was dark for a while, but then we came upon a big camp fire and tons of hippies dancing in the woods! There was a Britsih cover band playing, and artwork all around. It was the strangest thing you could imagine, but lots of fun!

Today, we awoke to another homecooked breakfast at the hut, Meusli
and a Thai omelet. Then I attempted to find a waterfall, but couldnt find the
turn, so we gave up and went to the pool! The only swimming pool in Pai, it was very refreshing, and they played nothing but classic rock, my favorite!


Then we got Thai massage for 6$ each, the best six have spent so far!
And that was for an hour and a half. Full body!



We are now very relaxed and just ate some ice cream with our French friend Dominick. Tomorrow, back on the bus to Chaing Mai, a second fitting,and the Sunday market. Maybe some presents are in store for you....
