Chiang Mai, Thailand - August 2-5th, 2012
What a crazy four day weekend!!! It has all felt so surreal. I have to pinch myself to make sure that it really all happened. I had almost decided not to go on this journey, but I'm very glad that I had the opportunity. I feel truly blessed to have been able to experience these wonders.
Thursday
I am glad that Emily and I headed out with a noon flight. It gave us enough time to get to Chiang Mai, check into our hotel, and then walk around for a bit before dinner time. We were both exhausted and called it an early night, so that we could be up for a whirlwind of a Friday. During our walk around a small part of the city, we were drawn into a little shop by the songs of Johnny Cash. It turned out to be a local artists shop, who hand crafted numerous pieces, often repeats. I purchased some postcard sized pieces as souvenirs/ gifts to possibly be handed out. My favorites were the pieces that had "Same Same, But Different" written on them. I bought two that are in fact the same, but just slightly different. These pieces now serve as temporary decoration on my walls.
