We left Chiang Mai last Thursday morning and it's only Tuesday night now, but it feels like we've been gone a couple of weeks. The more that is packed into a period of time, the faster the time seems to go, and the longer it seems to have been. Or so it seems to me.
V gave us these two of her rare bananas. I think she called them elephant's toe, or ingrown toenail. And then there was a bunch of another type known as lady's breast bananas. A couple were yellow and the rest green and should be yellow in a day or two. [Above and right is the inside of the banana. Which I added Wednesday afternoon.]
The flight back from Bangkok went easily. And we were greeted in the airport hallway to the exit by orchid after orchid plant. Mostly they looked like cymbidiums, but there was a variety of orchids - maybe a hundred different plants, each with several sprays of flowers.
And when we got out of the airport, we were greeted by the relative coolth of Chiang Mai after the Bangkok heat. (The computer says it's 79 here and 86 in Bangkok, but that doesn't factor in the extra humidity in Bangkok as well.)
And then there was the full moon. We've been keeping track of time by watching the moon wax and wane. It was full the day before we left Anchorage - January 12. And it was full when we were in Kuala Lumpur when our 30 days were up in Thailand. And now our second 30 days are up. When the moon is full again, we'll be just back in Anchorage.
StarShine pretended to stick her finger in the flowers,pretending they were bugs or animals. She knows they are flowers, but saw faces or critters in all of them. :)
