Aaron and I are both starting to “need a vacation from our vacation.” I know; I hate me for saying it, too. But it’s been very go go go and there hasn’t been a ton of downtime. Not to mention the fact that I’m pretty sure I’m getting a stomach ulcer from all the spiceContinue reading “Chiang Mai: Day 6”

Chiang Mai: Day 5
Our exotic lunch, unsurprisingly, did not sit well with my stomach.

Chiang Mai: Day 1
We landed in Chiang Mai exhausted and fussy. After a brief spat about whether our taxi driver was trying to rip us off (he wasn’t and I’m an idiot who can’t convert currency), we were taken to our guesthouse. A gated wall surrounds the Awana House, so we got a bit of a reveal momentContinue reading “Chiang Mai: Day 1”
