We said goodbye to Noh Bo yesterday and made our way back to Mae Sot. Along the way we stopped at a friend of Jabwa's. He had her make me a beautiful Karen sarong skirt and she presented it to me. I'm so honored and humbled by these beautiful, giving people. What a lovely surprise. Again we had all of our luggage inside the truck to stay dry along with Kara driving and Zenna, who was feeling very sick sleeping in the passenger seat.
We were very happy to check in at The Picture Book Guest House and couldn't wait for a shower. Our first in 4 days.
We all put our dresses on and I got to wear my new sarong while Kara took us to get mani/pedi's. Boy did we need it after slopping around in the rain and mud for the past four days. Mark biked to get a Thai massage while we got our nails done.
Afterwards we picked up Mark and went for a meal at the most magnificent resturaunt I've ever been to. It had orchids and waterfalls and pathways and wonderful twisted trees. It was a rainforest wonderland. And the food!!! In so glad it was family style so we could all share the wonderful dishes.
August 11
We had to say goodbye to Kara and Northern Thailand today to begin the next chapter of our journey. We are heading south to Phuket for some sun, sand and from what we've heard a little bit of paradise.
Missing you already Kara! Wish you could' v fit in my suitcase!
