Monsoon Rains



Torrential rain this afternoon. Perfect time to catch up on some reading. We are in Lampang. Our original plan to head to Chang Rai was abruptly changed this morning after Lars read in the guide book
that  this town was one of the last still using horse carts. We hopped on a bus and 2 hours later we are off the beaten track so to speak. We know this because when we departed from the bus the local taxis didn't try and overcharge us to get us to our destination but quickly hustled us into a shared taxi. Another sign-our fellow guest house mates are a friendly bunch! We are liking this town Very much! Wish we could stay longer actually. Our guest house is an old wood Thai house by the river. Dinner tonight at local favorite was delicious! Afterwards- Sitting on the porch  (with the warning sign not to swim in the river due to crocodiles!) playing cards and watching the geckos chase bugs overhead. Good day!
