Fourty some hours later and I finally made it to Chiang Mai. The trip was very long and exhausting but it went very smoothly all things considered.
I'm sitting at the banks of the river the flows through Chiang Mai (I don't know what it's called...soemone can look it up if they want) under a hut writing this blog. I hadn't planned to log on for a while bu I have free internet and I'm too Jetlagged to do much else
We had intended to stay with a girl that we met on couchsurfing.com but when we showed up we were at a guesthouse. After several comfusing conversations with people who didn't speak much english we deduced that the couchsurfer girl owned the guesthouse and is letting us stay here for free. I am fresh off my first shower in a few days and feeling much better
I cannot talk long because we are going to lunch with Esther (our host) and some of her friends. After that Marissa and I plan to visit a temple and maybe get massages before crashing for the night.
I like all the comments. keep it up, they're fun to read. also subscribe to my blog so that you'll know when I write as it will probably be sporatic.

The Ping River! Are you going to still be in Thailand for the Loi Kratong festivities on November 12th? (I don't just happen to know about Thai holidays -- I came across this while I was Googling to find out the name of the river.)
Hey Babe!
Good to know you've made it. Have you guys been able to change your tickets yet to make the festival? I gotta go get ready for work...later!
Massages sound amazing...
I'm glad you survived the 40 hours of traveling!!!

Hey David, it must feel great to finally be on the road. Good luck! I am just finishing up my trip, so if you get a chance next week you can see my pictures up on facebook. Then again, my pics will be nothing compared to what you are seeing in real life, so take your time. Good luck again and keep on writing!
