Chiang Mai

We are on the last leg of our journey and not ready to come home. Who knows if we will yet........ We have been hanging out in the city a bit and finding it is very hard to get out of here without paying a ton of money for a tour. We have been climbing(of course) and that was great, and a butt kicker for some. Tommorrow, we are going to get our own elephant for a day. We get to learn commands, bath it in the river and ride it. I can't wait. This has been my(steph) dream for this trip and it is going to happen tommorrow!! Yes!!!!!

We took an amazing thai cooking class and learned soooo much. The food we made was 5 courses and just as beautiful as was delicious. Don't worry, we have all the recipes( Now we can have sticky rice whenever we want!!!)

A Random list of Fun:
--massages for under $5.00
--pad thai for 10 cents( a real steal at this walking market)
--a foot massage in the street
--saw a little falcon chase a lizard down a tree and eat it
--we went swimming in the community pool
--contemplation to stay....HUGE
--we have hot showers!!!! Don't take for granted anymore
--Anna stepped in monkey poo
--we all went to the dentist today for cleanings and fillings and such (very cheap and, don't worry, very professional)
--climbed in a cave in a bamboo forest
--we are practicing our acroyoga moves...lots of work to be done

That is all for now. Take care and see you all soon
