Happy Indepence Day

Happy Holiday!!! As most of you read this it will probably already be the 5th, which is weird considering that I was just on the phone talking to people while it's still the 4th. Anyway, I hope you all had a lovely holiday. Right now I am reporting from Chiang Mai. Yes, Chiang Mai! I am finally here after 9 years. You can't see it right now but I'm jumping for joy. Yesterday Hayley, Amalia (the two Aussie girls) and I took a bus from Chiang Rai. It's only about a three hour ride. Our bus had leather seats, retractable leg rests and AIR CONDITIONING!! The third is the most important of all and it was even better because it actually worked. It's the little things in life that you take for granted that seem so much more valuable after you haven't had it for a while. Anyway, we are staying at the Galare Guest House which is conveniently just a block away from the night bazaar.

It was just as great as I remember it. The sights, the sounds.. everything. It's so good to be back here. I can't wait to see what's changed over the years and what hasn't changed at all. We walked through a flower market last night and it was just amazing to smell the scents of so many oriental flowers like lotuses and orcids. Thank you all for keeping me in your prayers! I'll post pictures as soon as I can.

Love,
Cory :)

  1. Did you look for your thai Grandma at Night Bazaar? I'll bet she still wants you to spend the night and take you to the zoo! ;)
