Feb 6. 2009 Last Days in Chiang Mai


Hey Dottie! I finally got the photo of the inside of
the 2nd class sleeper train between Bangkok and Chiang Mai.
This one is going to Bangkok. The smoothest one yet. (Until
we got there to learn our connecting train to BanPong was
not running due to a closure of the line because of a derailing.
We ended up taking a taxi which while a bit pricey was probably
the most efficient.

This, our floating sky lantern, was sent up from the balcony of
our upstairs neighbor in a small ceremony with our sincere
wish for returning next fall.

The lovely pla mauk at the Sunday Night Walking Market!!
Yum!


We visit the new aquarium with a walk thru tunnel
and a shark stops by for a tummy scritch. We hardly
need to fit in a snorkeling trip, this seems so "in the water."

Chiang Mai University senior English students presented
their senior projects to which the public was invited. We
were privileged to see both a Pocahontas production as
well as Phantom of the Opera. Amazing!
