After leaving Chicago at 10:30 AM Sunday, we arrived in Chiang Mai about 10:30 PM Monday. The International Date Line was involved! It took about 24 hours, two flights, one short layover in Seoul, South Korea, a few naps, and (for me) quite a few movies. Tuesday was a blur from lack of sleep, but a lot got done anyway. We unpacked our two bins that were in storage -- and got our fan. We are very happy to be on the north side of our building after always being on the south. The south side gets direct sun all day. It's so nice to have shade instead. I think the temperature will be a lot more comfortable.

Dan went off to rent a motorbike, change money, and get a few groceries from a place too far for walking. I went to the market to get fruit (mango, banana, pomelo, papaya, pineapple) and other necessities (milk and sugar for chai, soap, paper towels, etc.). It made quite a load in my two string backpacks.
Here are a few random shots:
