Now we're in Chiang Mai and Im really starting to love Thaliand. The weather is warm/hot in the day and cool at night. There are temples and waterfalls everywhere. And Chiang Mai has a lot of character. Alex and I rented motorcycles and now I want to rent them everywhere I go. I love it. The city of Chiang Mai is probably the least safe place to learn how to ride a motorcycle but we made it over the learning curve fast with the harsh conditions. I never fully appreciated this trip until I was riding my motorcycle with the breeze in my face and the fresh smell of the air while we rode from CHiang Mai towards the Ancient City. We never made it to the Ancient City because we didnt know where it was and we started late. There was actually no plan on actually getting there we just wanted to ride and explore. We found a market with a crowd of people dancing to fast paced music in the parking lot. We stopped and got some of the best food I've had so far. Alex bought an Armani belt and some Ray Ban sunglasses. 6$ all together. The day before that we rode into the mountains to find waterfalls and temples and found plenty. Tomorrow we're doing a package deal where we are going to Moutain Bike, do White Water Rafting, and Ride Elephants. Then we plan on going to a place where you cook your own food on a grill Hibachi style. The next morning we are going to ride our motorcycles up to a town called Pai. Here I plan on going rock climbing/repelling and caving. We will also be seeing the Hill Tribes that wear the rings around there necks. Supposedly there is some kind of party that happens on the 11th that we will probably stay for then we will be heading back to Bangkok to pick up our visas and head down to South Thailand. This is a great country.
