BAD- bad is the mattress that came with our apartment which is now leaning against the wall behind our wardrobe because the landlord won't take any of the furniture out which we don't want.
GOOD-After two weeks of the sore back we caved and bought a soft mattress Ahhh the good!! Note the effect!
Loi Kratong is a traditional festival where you float a incense stick laden, candle lit raft that looks like a centerpiece on a nearby river or pond. The tourist guides emphasize that it originated in offerings to the traditional water goddess, and has become symbolic of letting go of grievances, etc at the end of harvest. This is a picture of Karyn with her Kratong. They also had the balloon lanterns like we sent into the sky at the beach and in Chiang Mai. For those not there-it's like the lanterns in the movie Tangled. Karyn wants to bring some home to light with the grandkids. Anyone think of a safe place and time??
