Happy Easter!

Just finishing our Easter day here in Chaing Rai. Had a nice day but missing family back home and some of our traditional Easter activities!

The week was a crazy one. We started off the week with a hospital trip for routine blood work for me and a Doctor visit for Meg. Super easy...had a Doctor confirm Meg's ear infection, prescribe 3 different medications. In and out of the hospital in an hour and all for about 15 dollars...unbelievable!

Decided to take a bit of a side trip and left Chaing Rai Tuesday to journey towards Pai-about 6 hours west of here, stopped in Chaing Mai for the night and continued on the next day. Pai was interesting....beautiful scenery up the mountains and a different little town...we discovered where all the hippies went...they and their children and grandchildren are all in Pai, Thailand...seriously... We enjoyed our stay in the area. Visited an amazing huge cave one day and went to a Pirahna fishing park the other...random I know but the whole trip and town was pretty random. Took the government bus down the mountain yesterday (you know it is bad when they hand out plastic vomit bags as you get on!) we did well and got our bus onward right away to Chaing Rai and happy to be back!!

Enjoyed Easter services at a Akha village about 1.5 hours away in a beautiful setting well off the beaten path!

Looking forward to a new week. We will be moving on Thursday night back to Bangkok and a middle of the night flight to Istanbul where we will meet Kurt-looking forward to that!!

Enjoy the pics~ Cari
