So we are actually living at the Spa Resort near the village of Mae An and the PREM school about 20 km to the north of Chiang Mai. We were able to rent one of the townhouses for the entire month for a good price and have some of the modern conveniences around us for a while. The have few tennis, free swimming, and free meditation. They have an on-site restaurant that serves excellent food. A few local markets are close by, but to really stock up on supplies or visit street vendors, the closest is Mae Rim about 10km away. This morning Ezra woke up at 5:40AM, and after making some fruit smoothies, Viena, Ezra and I walked to the PINK Buddhist Temple which is about 1km away. I left with my camera and zoom lens with an extra battery just in case, but I neglected to put back the memory card in the camera so I could not take any photos. We played a new game called “who can spot the next creepy crawly thing?” We saw a millipede and a centipede and Ezra picked up a seemingly dead cicada by the wings and that gave us all a jolt when the wings came alive. Ezra is improving every day but continues to say things like “If I keep walking, I am not going to be able to go on another walk later.” There is a tree right outside our balcony where Ezra spotted a bird. “Dad, there is a bird with a pieru, pieru, pieru on his head.” and he makes the motions of some object coming out of his head. The bird sits at the top of the tree and does have a beautiful crown. I will try to photograph later. We see may of these birds around and many butterflies. We decided that ants do not classify as creepy crawly things. I am trying to plot my ascent of Doi Pui, the mountain to the West of Chiang Mai.
