I finally made it! My photoalbum says it all, but here are a few highlights:
I made it to Chiang Rai, Thailand, safe and sound, complete with welcoming party c/o my accommodations, Baan Bua Guest House. They have a cute web site and free WIFI!!!
Napped for a bit then headed over to the Night Market to grab some grub. Literally.
I've been wanting to try fried insects (or flied insects as the locals say) since I saw them on our family trip to Bangkok in December 2006.
Quite yummy! The bamboo worm and house cricket are my favorites, the big water beetle was a bit too hard to eat, tough shell and all.
Did a little bit of pasalubong shopping, VERY small items because I have too many friends <ahem> and some birthday presents.
God is funny, he's also answering my prayer about affirming my feminine appeal... in unexpected but nonetheless welcome ways. ^_^ 'Nuff said.
Bwahahahah!!!)
