Chian Mai New Faaaave- DAY 2

DAY 2- Waterfalls and Pork Balls
We slept in like nobody's business. Everyone was surprised considering most people wake up in the middle of the night after 24 hours of traveling. We took things easy and explored what was in our immediate grasp. Literally. Like a slingshot for example. Branon and I were pretty easily entertained seeing who could shoot down the leaves on the other side of the water with the slingshot. Don't worry, things do get more exciting than this. The area we are standing in just next to the water is the sala, the hang out, or patio of the guest house. It's basically where we hang out, karaoke, watch movies and Breaking Bad, breaking coconuts, etc..... every day. It's so beautiful here! All day we can hear cicadas making their loud noises and a variety of other bug and bird noises we've never heard before. At first we were both so distracted by the noises, in a good way, whereas Kendall and her dad were used to them. Now they've just become a normal noise we were and don't notice as much. It will be weird to go home to normal light bird chirps and bug noises only when thy buzz by your ears.

We explored the area and hiked up to an awesome waterfall near Suan Pailom and waded in the water with Lady (Pictured right, full name Lady Ga Ga) and Marmi (Pictured left, named after her color), the house protectors and adorable dogs. They are the sweetest, and most fierce poochies I know. Love these two!

Later in the day Branon went to town with Dan and came back with a Thailand treat. Pork balls on a stick. Okay okay, I know what you're all thinking. NOT ACTUAL ONES. Just tasty pork on a stick. I'm not a big pork fan, but I have to say, they were delicious. One of the many things you'll see in Thailand are the food vendors. There are certainly a variety of food balls here. Tasty too. (Blossom, we're trying as many as we can!!) The street vendors have been a new favorite experience for me. I was apprehensive at first but now, in love with em. (;
