Pai

Pai is an amazing little town north of Chiang Mai. Today we rented motor bikes to get out of town and see the sights. We went swimming at a local waterfall and saw sunset at the Pai Canyon. I never knew how easy motorcycles made it to see local sights...and what a blast to ride. Tonight Pai is throwing itself a party. The main stretches of town are closed with different acts at all ends and vendors selling food all over - the best are the pork skewers, the coconut and rice little fried things, and the egg and banana roti/pancake. We're walking around eating and drinking to our hearts delight. Beer is cheap and the food is even cheaper. Everywhere we go there forms a little community of other travelers so we're able to mix it up well. Tomorrow we'll continue seeing the sights around Pai on the bikes. I think we'll head to Chiang Rai the following day so that we can make a border crossing to renew our Visa.
Life is good. I hope all is well.
