Jan. 13, Lampang - a Smaller City Day 1


A section of the old town has a street with these
architectural prizes -- a mix of old Lanna and Chinese.

A REALLY yummy Thai restaurant -- also called
Riverside. I don't think they share anything with
the guest house other than the name and a good
reputation -- earned and deserved. I was enjoying
probably the most tasty mushroom omelet in the world:
just FULL of my favorite Thai flavors --
lemon grass, lime leaves and basil!

A view of Riverside Guest House from across the
river. You can't miss the wildly blooming bougainvillea.

The view from our veranda of the river over
the wildly blooming bougainvillea. The weather
was lowest in a decade. Keith had to buy a shirt
with sleeves and we needed that extra blanket.

Was glad I had phoned ahead for a room at this
popular guesthouse. It turned out to be rather
full and busy. We met some very interesting
folks. Fellow travelers do tend to have interesting
experiences.
