a day by the lake

I had a great breakfast and then went "shopping" for the patches and purses.   I don't have the patience to shop and even less to shop for others.... I stopped and make the apt with Lily for
Friday afternoon and also booked with Pat for tomorrow... I had there was a lake not too far out of town so I scooted toward the zoo and then out route 121.  I was not sure where I was headed and I have found that once you leave the main drag often the highway notes are not in script I can read...but I found it, paid the 40 bhat and drove around for a little.  There are little grass huts along the water front and finally I just parked the bike and walked along the huts until I found a frang who told me...just take a empty one and sit down.   The refreshment crew will come along soon and you can get food and drinks. So I plopped down with my book, got a beer, beer opener, glass, and bucket of ice.... and settled in for an afternoon by the water with the beer and breeze.  The ride was enjoyable and this was a very nice day as I begin my final week in ChaingMai.

the little shacks could hold four but two would be comfortable.  A few were larger. People were swimming and you could rent "swans"....I opted to read and drink my Chang... happy bonny.  In the upper right corner you can see a "bell" which looks a little like an elephant bell..I think you bang  on that if you need more  anything.  I had some very unripe mango....  
Met J for dinner at the Peppermint.   The couple next to us were not speaking... it was definately chew your foot off time for them...   \Busy take care of bonny week... meditate, qigong, acupuncture, cranial treatment ...massage, facial, etc.. and I will be ready to return... same same but different.
