Going to school

So the last 2 days haven’t been the greatest. I got a touch of food poisoning from some American food on our last night in Pai Thailand. I still love Pai! We traveled back to Chiang Mai in that awful van ride down the mountain switchbacks. I had meds on board and held on tight. I did not get sick on that trip, but others did. Yesterday, I took a rest day. I’m feeling much better and today we headed out for our adventure. We have had a very busy day had to make up for the last two. So surprise ... see next blog ;) to continue our day. Enjoy.
