Small Town Blues

From Chiang Saen, Thailand

Wednesday, November 07, 2007

I'm in a LITTLE town. And the last one was little. Both sit right on the Mekong & are spectacullarly beautiful... but little. And, boring. It was one thing staying in Chiang Mai for 3 weeks when most people stay 3 days, or even Chiang Rai for 2 weeks when others leave the next... they were big enough that wandering around bored I still saw new & interesting things. The last town was 2 streets totaling 9 blks & this town, while an entire 1 mile is just 1 street.

Treated myself to a foot massage while bored in the 9 blk town & got a bad massage!!! Woke up the next day with one bum foot. Now, 3 days later, I can still barely walk on it. But its helped me perfect my Geisha 2 inch stride... & that helps make a mile long town seem... well, more like a mile & a half. :)

My hotel sits in the center of town... today I walked to the one end... by big plans for tomorrow is to walk the half mile to the other side of the town.
