After a 2 day delay, I have arrived in Chiang Mai. As always traveling to Asia is an adventure. So happy to be here with a good friend from China. A good part of our time will be spent taking pottery and jewelry classes, so that we can be better equipped to train women in those trades. Of course we are also combing the city trying to find treasures to bring back to the store! This is no easy feat. This is my first time visiting Chiang Mai, and I'm not sure what I think yet.
The weather is cooler here in the North, but I have to admit that my favorite part of Thailand is the beach. There are parts of the original ancient city ruins sprinkled through out, and water canals along many of the roads. Recently they celebrated a flower festival, so there are flower bouquets everywhere!
We are staying at a small guest house with all kinds of critters. This morning when I opened the small fridge to get some water, a gecko scurried across. Many mosquitos here, but they are not evil like the ones in China. They don't buzz my ears, they just take a small nibble.
Today I am very excited to be working with metal! We will see what the day has in store for us. Most likely another mango shake and spicy papaya salad. mmmm
