Chaing Mai

We made it up to Chaing Mai fine, it is one of the most amazing cities. So full of life and excitement. The people here as so wonderful as well. We were only here for a few days and then went up to Chaing Dao. There was a beautiful monestary in the mountains. We went up one morning to see the sunrise, sadly there were too many clounds to see much. But the view was still amazing. While up there we also went to an aids/hiv childrens orphanage, they were all so cute! and we got to play with them for hours. Me and a few others hiked up into the hills to a bat cave. To get there we had to go up a steep hill, up a few old wooden ladders. But it was worth it. There were no tour guids, it was just us and we could explore as much as we wanted to. We saw some spiders that were bigger than our hands. In the back of the cave there was a shrine with many buddha statues. There were also many bats flying around, which was fun. Then we came back to Chaing Mai, it feels so nice being here, the city is so fun. Now we are about to head up to a Karen village for a little over a week and help bring them elecricity. It should be fun, and then soon after that we will be heading to India.
