Bye Pai

After three nights, 4 days in Pai, it's time to journey on. Today we will take a bus back to Chiang Mai. How easy it is to relaxe in Pai. After the elephant rides, I have not done much but eat, walk the markets, and swim in the pool. Everyday has felt like a lazy Sunday here in Pai but I now know why people either love it or hate it. Lots of tourists...mostly westerners that come out after the sun starts to attend the nightly market. It does have an artsy feel to it, which is nice but after 4 days here, I think both of us are ready to head on. It was also nice to do Mae Hon Song and Ta Lak befoe getting lazy here.

One thing that sucks about traveling, is getting settled in a place and unpacking everything, buying a few things here and there and then having to repack. As much as I thought I under packed, low and behold I felt my bag was going to rip when trying to zipper it up today. I bought WAY too many books and will probably end up sending some home when I reach Bangkok.

The other thing that I did not mention yet was the mossies or mosquitoes. I think I have got at least one every single days since getting here. And yes Mom, I have been putting on repellent but either they bite through my clothes, areas I did not put repellent on, have gotten used to the deet, or just love this american boys blood. I think Jenn and I are competing for the most bites, with her currently in the lead!
