Yesterday was really just lovely. I met this British kid and we hiked to a waterfall through the jungle. We basically followed this trail that went along a small creek. The trail kept jumping from one side of the river to the other so we found ourselves constantly crossing through the water. It took us around 2.5 hours to get to the waterfall and another 2.5 to get back. I greatly enjoyed feeling so close to nature – something I feel I don’t get when I’m in the cities like Bangkok or even Chiang Mai.

I’m meeting a guy in town today. He runs some type of school or program that offers a lot of holistic type things. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it’s a good experience. It could really go either way.

Gratitude List:
Another morning waking up to my beautiful view of rice paddies and forested mountains (hills?) just outside my door
Being able to take time and reconnect with nature
Some seriously delicious massaman curry for dinner last night (there will be another trip – or two, back there today)
