We got picked up about 11:30am, including the bikes which were going to be dropped off at the office. The student interns came out to say good bye. Bon is with them too. It seems it was pink day for the women.
Here's another picture of the compound. One visitor suggested that the grounds looked more like being out in a village, and yes, that is the feel, even though we are in Chiang Mai.
Then to the airport, where despite the overnight in San Francisco, and then the journey to Salt Lake on the way to Anchorage, we were able to check our baggage in through Anchorage. We will get to briefly find stuff we might need going through customs in SF.
We picked Hindu Vegetarian from China Air's long long list of choices way back in December. It was a good choice and when you get special meals, they bring them first. That seems just to be a logistic decision, so they can find the people who ordered special and get them the right meals. The food was good, though extremely mild after eating Thai food.
The salad was very fresh. And I was surprised to see the jello. As this discussion group suggests, Jello itself is not vegetarian, but there are other ways to make a jello like dish that are vegetarian. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, but we didn't eat it. Jello isn't high on my list of favorite foods anyway.
I watched the beginning of "Bedtime Stories." The sound was the best I've ever had through airline earphones, but there really wasn't anything worth listening to. 
And here we are approaching Taipei, before dipping into the clouds.
And here's my floor view of the Taipei Terminal D plugged into the socket. There's free wifi in the Taipei airport. They even have free computers to use. Well, I probably should check on that. They used to. I'm on the free wifi though.
I really dig your site, the photos, the journey, the photo of the clouds, birds, people, the narrative
ReplyDeletethank you.
I am stuck in my own box of static non-movement, and so it is great to see some trip of adventure, unfold, here in reality, all be it cyber space(as brought out on the beams of the i-net)
Anon, thanks for leaving a comment. It's nice to know when people enjoyed something. I know the comment box here isn't the easiest, but you can always sign a name - even a made up name - at the end of the post so you are more than just Anonymous.
