Travel Log Part 18
Monday, March 19, 9:10 am
We had such a fun day yesterday! M, K & I went with Noy & Gume to Phrae Province where we went to a monk initiation ceremony, but we never saw any initiating because (as is typical) they kept pushing the start time back, so we just left (which was fine by me). After that, we went to a crazy-gaudy temple for a bit. Then we had lunch and went to Silikit Dam, which was absolutely beautiful! We kayaked in the reservoir, then walked/drove around. It was very nice and refreshing (though hot, of course).

Afterwards, we went to a golf course where we hit some balls at the driving range (and I wasn't that bad). Then we ate dinner with Mike from Illinois and Tony from England. They were fun to hang out with and thought I seemed tall, which still cracks me up.
We stayed out late and got up early this morning to go to the market with Noy, where we saw beautiful displays of produce and very questionable displays of meat. I suspected I shouldn't be eating meat around here, and my suspicion has been confirmed.

We got our meat-free breakfast from the market (mangoes & sticky rice) which was much better than the rice soup & veggies we had yesterday morning.
Today, we're going to the mayor's office, a bank, and aerobics class with Noy.

If I have to keep going to karaoke parties, I'm gonna die. 3 hours tonight!
