Wanderings

Sawadee-ka! We'll show you our wanderings
in the neighborhood of the Prince Hotel, our second abode (for ten days) near the city's old town, the moat and the wall around this central town still apparent even if not quite all intact, and some other neighborhoods in our search for an apartment. Moving even with just suitcases and grocery bags is still NOT fun.










We have found gigantic food markets, with fruit, veggies,
fish, meat, flowers, eggs and tons and tons of pork rinds and noodle soup.

And of course, there's alway a wat or two or three..................
and we can't pass any of them without getting more naga pictures.

We have also found and patronized the used English bookstores. Tom is reading Guterson's (Snow Falling on Cedars) other books, including his new one, The Other. I've been reading Kate Atkinson, Scenes from a Museum, Margot Livesey, and a wonderful book, the Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh, a kind of epic novel of three generations that takes place in India, Malaysia and Burma,

We have also found and rented an apartment so we'll show you the building with more to come later. Both the country and its people are so photogenic. So most of these photos were taken when we were just out walking, enjoying the weather and exploring all of the amazing town of Chiang Mai. Truly, you all must come to visit.
