I am so enjoying the food. Last night, I was not sure who was eating more, the mosquitos or myself. A lovely veggie stir fry and coconut veggie soup and mixed pineapple/mango fruit. I am making good use of the insomnia by learning more about my camera...so much to learn...I am glad to be a dummy...the book is very good. I made another 7/11 run and this time, I bought one beer, cups, and some nuts. It helps when I am watching the B movies in the evening before bed...so a beer and nuts help. I am finding that I see many folks with maps and I can be of help...at least I am not asking if they what to see a Wat...or two..by the way at last count there are 300 in Chaingmai.. I had a thought of getting up and getting going down to the donurt man...but I think is on my head ---- the dentist and how much this is going to hurt and how am I going to get some legal pain killers...etc.. so tomorrow after the two dentist apt I think I will go watch boxing so I can see that I am not alone. I find I am walking slower and looking at many things in a new way...I found the woman's prison for a massage but I did not get a good feeling..so back to One in a few days... I think my legs are starting to be less sore.. but boy when she is pressing her elbow into my butt...mmm I know I am shedding Karma. My shoulder is really pretty good...Today is oil day...I will get up showere, blog/call, pancakes...and then oil and market. I hope to have an early dinner at Our House... catch a street massage and then home to get up for the Dr. and dentist... I am finding that I am getting to places when there are few people...and just letting my life settle. I think the jet lag is more bonny lag...and like my camera..my focus is getting clearer... I have been on auto.... I am a long way from putting me back home....this feels like home. I am not going to Loas...I want to settle down and find myself without the task of slepping stuff. I found the dentist on the map...and if I am feeling good..I will spend time in that direction next week. I am going to do book a Visa run for the week of Feb 8th. Whatever I am doing..I will keep the room and use a backpack if I do an overnight at the elephants and 4 days of meditation. I picked out a colage of buddhas. There were in only two places...298 to go. My lodging will cost me about $500 for the trip. If I were to stay in a $45-60 a night that would 1500 more..so I am very happy with my room and staying put.

Eleventh Day

 Wow, it is easy to slip into a similar pattern to what I had at home. I produced a plan to change many things - delete more emails, eat hea...
