Oct 11- mid afternoon

We yesterday I had a Thai massage--and when she was finished an hour later I did feel really good--but I must say it was interesting and a little painful. One hour for $6, I would do it again.

Today we did the temple tour of Chiang Mai--we had a map and off we went--saw a lot of the the back streets and older parts of the city inside the old walls. Still managed to go shopping and bought myself a pair of Aliba Pants and another pair of baggy pants form this lady who sews out of her home just off the street

Saw this lady carrying brooms for sale

More temple pictures than we will know what to do with I am afraid--all different but all a little the same.

Saw this old pot on the wall--just thought it looked neat--will have to darken the picture in photo shop when I get home--really bright outside today--and really hot. Hope the weather remains dry while we are on our jungle trek tomorrow.

One of the protective gods outside a temple

The 4 faces of Budda

This is the blossom and the start of a new bunch of bananas--never saw this blossom before--very pretty

The egg man---not sure how fresh the eggs are by the end of the day.!!!!

Well guys tomorrow we head off into the jungle for our trek and time with the elephants. we will be off line--no WIFI in the jungle... so will be back in 3 days.
