Chiang Mai Zoo

Kim and I finally broke our daily habit of reading and eating this last week and ventured off to a different part of Chiang Mai. The new landscape included the Chiang Mai Zoo and Chiang Mai University. I uploaded a few videos from our zoo adventures.

After the zoo, we walked along the University, then found a place to have lunch and rest our feet (the day so far included a hot sun and lots of walking). We grabbed a tuk-tuk to get back into town, and at a red light the tuk-tuk next to ours had a very little passenger. Her backpack was fastened to the drivers seat, and we assumed the driver had to be her father.




The next night we finally attending an evening of Thai boxing. When I get a chance, I'll be sure to get some pictures or video up. For now, Kim and I are nearing the end of our time in Chiang Mai; our 30 day visas expire in less than a week, therefore we have to leave the country...at least for a little while. Our plan right now is to take a slow boat to Laos, which I understand involves several days on a river.

I hope everyone is doing well.
