Was the amount of time that Jenn and I spent in three different airplanes to finally make it to Chiang Mai, Thailand. If anyone does not know where Chiang Mai is, its about an hours flight north of Bangkok. It sits about 1000 feet above sea level, so its actually nice and cool here, compared to Bangkok or other parts of thailand that I am familiar with. So Jenn's cousin and her husband picked us with an almost miss. Since our pags were flown all the way over from SF to CM, we had to go to the international baggage terminal to get our bags but as an reasonable person would of thought since we were coming from Bangkok we would be domestic. So here they are waiting in domestic and we are looking lost in international, as they were going to leave Matthew (Roxanne's husband) went to look and found us over there. So they took us to check in to our guesthouse and they had thai food with them.
La Krathong - a latern fetival here in Chiang Mai brings in tons of tourists. We being two of them! It's a week long festival where people burn these laterns that are supposedly to burn away the bad luck and bring in good luck. Thousands of these laterns fly away high into the sky, so hopefully tonight we will get to burn a few or at least get some good photos of them.
