Chiang Mai

We're in a new city, smaller and cooler and generally nicer than Bangkok, although we've been surrounded by fellow round-eyes since we got off the bus, so we'll have to take care of that as soon as possible.

We made the overnight voyage on the Airbrush Express VIP double decker bus, serenaded by horribly bad and incredibly loud Thai power ballads playing over the loudspeaker, which made the trip seem like only a handful of hours, rather than the ten it actually lasted.

Off to the hills tomorrow for a three-day trek. We're not exactly sure what that entails, so if you don't hear from us again, know that the adventure was worth it.

Namaste Andy!

It's 3:30am in Delhi India now. I've been working on a report and was somewhat (ok, completely)sidetracked on the internet and understand that you are on the same continent. Anywho, don't really know how long you are traveling or what your plans are, but if you decide to visit India (which, by the way, I highly reccommend) lemme know if you need any information/place to crash/bail money. Have fun, Mary
