Dec 1st
Today we took a trip to Somsee's village which is about 50km north of Chiang Mai to see their second home and not too far away, the newly constructed bamboo hut (Dave & Jen's according to Somsee). The hut was constructed by Somsee's older brother and he did a wonderful job, it turned out beautifully. It is also fully equipped with running hot & cold water and full ensuite facilities...not exactly roughing it. Off the back is a large bamboo deck over looking a little ravine.
The day was spent lazing around and exploring the property a little...we didn't get too adventurous. We did manage to find time for a ox cart ride, up the road a little ways, which was very neat and just short enough! At lunch time some of the family showed up to help cook an incredible Thai lunch before we headed back to the city a few hours later.

We hear it is very hot "30's" in south part of Thailand. We just had a large dump of snow over night and now freezing rain.
Haliburton is snowed in. Grandpa has snowblowed the drive out 4 times in the last 24 hours. and expecting more.
You two left just in time. That is unless you like winter sports and then of course we feel very sorry for you, missing all this white stuff.
What an adventure you two are having. Such a beautiful country, so lush and WARM. How is the suspension on the ox cart. Good for short distances only I would imagine.
Can wait for the next postings.

Cuz & Jen!!
Wow, what a fantastic trip you are on and I love the new 'digs'... very modern and stylish!! I'm envious!
I was thrilled to get the address for your blog from Auntie (your mom) so I can keep up-to-date on what's happening.
Give Uncle a big hug from us and have a fantastic Christmas and trip! We have lots of the white stuff here for Christmas which I'm sure you won't miss.
Take Care
Luv Christine & Jacob
