Chiang Mai, Thailand Travel Blog
Bill's only goal today is to watch the Australian F1 race.

I was able to have raisins, peanut butter and bananas with my cornflakes. YUM! Bill went wild and crazy and had the American breakfast again. I guess he never tires of scrambled eggs and bacon...

We walked to the internet cafe to call Mom, it is her Birthday (9 pm while it is 9am the next day here). We surprise her with the call and hear all the latest news. It sounds like everyone has taken good care of her this week!

After that we watched a movie in our room and I did some reading.

We walked to the pharmacy (Boots) and bought some cold medication (not for me, I am healthy and strong!). I guess a steady diet of rice and beer is not the cure for the common cold. I looked at a couple of dress shops, but they were quite pricey. The store with less expensive dresses and tops that had styles that I liked better was closed today though. I did manage to find a nice ring and chain at a jewelery store though.

At Ratana's I had Thai iced tea and steamed sea bass with garlic and lime and Bill had a coke and chicken stir fry.

We headed to a pub-like place that we had seen yesterday to watch the F1 race. We were able to get a table up front and ordered some drinks. I decided to have a vodka and soda (something was floating with my ice). After a while we shared a chicken, chili, basil and pepper dish (had one bad tomato) and then Bill ordered the apple cake with ice cream and whipped topping (that had some gross stringy thing in it too). The food in Chiang Mai can be very good or very below average (usually the restaurants that try to serve Western food too).

Bill did enjoy watching the race during the afternoon instead of the middle of the night and we did meet a nice guy and his son that were from Perth, Australia.

We stopped in at the internet cafe so I can do blogging while Bill is surfing the net.
