Wednesday, December 1.
I can't believe it's already December. In any case, I feel as though I've been experiencing paradise again. The lush green palms. The fresh tropical fruits after every meal. The quiet walk back from the reservoir. The mornings of hard work and afternoons of beautiful relaxation. This is the life, I'm tellin' you.
Lacey, Austin and I took our last trip to the reservoir today (Heather left yesterday to spend a couple nights in Chiang Mai before training back to Bangkok to catch her earlier flight home), and walked back on the quiet, winding road to the village just as the sun was setting. Layer upon layer of green mountain sat humbly in the distance beneath the horizon. The light on the clouds seemed to form a heavenly mother peak above them. The other-worldy sunset intensified as we walked, and the sky's ethereal orange peaked through the big leaves of coconut and banana trees. Tonight we have our last dinner with Non at Didi's guesthouse, and in the morning it's back to Bangkok. But something about Northern Thailand has me hooked. This place I will definitely be seeing again.
