April 26 Hanging Around Chiang Mai

After breakfast we dropped off laundry and visited a flower market and another, different local market, where Leslie purchased some Buddhist amulets for an art project she has conceived.  We also found a tribal market with local clothes, hats, pillows, etc.

We returned to our guest house, had showers as it was quite muggy, then went out with our computers to get lunch and find an internet cafe where we could get online, as we would not be able to get into our apartment until Janet left in the evening.  David's computer worked, but not Leslie's, perhaps because it has an antiquated wireless receiver.  So then we went to the local mall, bought Leslie a new external wireless receiver, then a wireless system for phone-based internet, then had David's laptop keyboard fixed, and we both had a head and shoulders massage while we were waiting for David's laptop.

Then we had a pizza,close to the night market so we could people watch, bought a few groceries, and took them and the computers over to our apartment.  We checked out of our guest house after removing the rest of our stuff, and started to settle into the apartment. It is nice but only the bedroom has an AC, so it can get very hot.  We are happy to be able to unpack for a while.
