Checking in

I am back in Nan and back at work. It was a whirlwind weekend but quite enjoyable in many ways.  I would love to tell all about it right now, but I am at school and don't have all the photos now.  Tonight will begin the epic blogging!  I did get to see some pretty amazing wat (temples), including one up on the mountain above Chiang Mai.  I had a lovely massage--2 in fact!--and even got to do a Thai cooking class.  Exploring the town was nice as well.  All in all it seems like a lovely city.  I can't say I have much (errr, anything) in common with the people I traveled with--they literally spent the entire trip drinking.  The only cultural activities they did were visiting 1 wat and going to a Muay Thai fight.  But to each his own.  After the first day I pretty much split off from them and left them to their pubs/bars while I explored the area on my own.  Also met some other people from the hostel and did some things with them, so it worked out fine.  Anyway, it is time to prepare for class, but I will work on getting some photos up this evening.
