Chiang Mai Days

Today our goal was to find some kitchen supplies – things like dish towels, a coffee mug, a measuring cup, clothes pins and a couple of drinking glasses.  Shopping in the Old Town is chaotic and it’s always interesting to see what’s available.  From our apartment, it’s a short walk to the bridge that takes us to the Old Town.

The Old Town is a tangle of streets with shops selling anything one could imagine.  Shirts, shoes, fabrics, zippers, jewelry, tiny coconut pancakes, and so much more.

This industrious man has set up his shoe repair shop is right on the street.

We took a break from our shopping excursion to stop by the Barefoot Cafe for a refreshing drink – shown here in this advertisement.

Tropical Juices!

We were successful with our shopping excursion and found almost everything that we needed.  The temperatures are warm in the afternoon so a good time to stay inside to read or work on projects.  Below is a view of the spacious living room with Larry working on his Wordle for the day.

So many things take place outside – even dinner preparation.

Hot Pot Meal

Nearly every day and many evenings, we walk through the Wat Ket Karam, a Buddhist Temple nearby.  It’s a peaceful space and especially beautiful at night.  We’re rested from the travel and ready for more adventure tomorrow!
