Onward To Chiang Mai

As much as we enjoyed the sun, sand and brief rain shower on Koh Lanta, the last couple of days we've been looking forward to heading north to Chiang Mai.

Is it the Muang Mai market, the Sunday street market, the great and plentiful vegetarian restaurants or just our familiarity with the city? I don't know, but there's a certain "je ne sais quoi" that draws us to Thailand's original capital like moths to a flame.

After a week on Thai soil, we still aren't completely over our jet lag and find ourselves stifling yawns at 8:30 PM. Our eyes magically pop open at 3:00 AM, encouraging us to read our Kindles or work on our Duolingo while we try to get back to sleep for another hour or two. By 5:30, at the crack of dawn, we abandon our efforts and get on with our day. I'm getting to the point where I'm looking forward to awakening at the crack of noon.

Today, however, we were happy to jump out of the sack before the sun broke the horizon. Our ride to the airport picked us up at 6:30 for the two hour ride to the airport. Our plane leaves at 10:30 and we should be checking into our home for the next three months by 1:00.
