So What's Sada Been Up To?

Since I'm the one with the camera, I often take pics of Sada! 

Here he is eating breakfast - our hotel offers a 'Siamese Rice Soup' & we order it veggie style with tofu & add lots of hot stuff - yum!

Napping by the pool in the sun is one of his favorite things!

Actually, napping anywhere is his favorite thing,

We often wander thru the street markets - one day we found the mother lode of cashews!

At this market, we finally found the fruit we were looking for - passionfruit, or Lilikoi in Hawaiian. Here in Thailand they call it something like Otuklo.

It's the weirdest, coolest fruit ever!

We often visit the Buddhist Wats on our walks. This one was beautiful & seemed to be dedicated to all sorts of animals - lots of misc animal statues around, including one of Donald Duck!

This visit was around New Year's when offerings of many kinds are made to the monks. The pretty banners contain cash & New Year's messages.

We often have lunch on our balcony overlooking the pool. Looks like we're having papaya, bananas & cashews today. 

Massage... Deng works right here at the hotel, she's great! 

An hour massage costs 200B - $5.75.

We spend a lovely amount of time reading! Here Sada's about to finish 'Sense & Sensibility' - we both enjoyed it! Did I mention he finished 'War & Peace'? It took about 6 weeks, minus a week for coffee detox. 

Now we're working on 'The Raj Quartet'.

Here he is inspecting some old ceramic roof tiles on a house in the Lanna Traditional Homes Museum.

The Ping River is a little east of the center of Chiang Mai. 

It's one slow moving river!

We found this amazing vegetarian restaurant after a long hot walk one day. The iced teas were incredible - mine was chrysanthemum & his was lemon grass. The rest of the lunch was superb, we can't wait to go back!

Computer work is a new thing in Sada's life - he's having fun with it! Mostly word processing so far & a little internet.

Sudoku too, can you believe it?

We had some Indian food for dinner at one of the evening walking markets & got a couple of these soft white buns too. It wasn't until we looked at the picture that we saw that they look just like breasts!

So, I guess this has turned out to be a sort of 'day in the life' for us here in Chiang Mai. We're having a wonderful time!
