Picking out fresh produce and authentic Thai ingredients at the local market, cooking in an open air kitchen and eating a four-course meal in a traditional Thai teak house - what a way to start the day. Axel and I took a cooking course at a local school near our guest house (http://www.chiangmaismartcook.com/). We learned to make curry paste, pad thai, sweet and sour prawn soup, coconut soup with tofu, spring rolls, mangoes with sticky rice - my mouth is watering just thinking about it. YUMMY!
Tonight, we checked out the annual Chiang Mai Flower Festival. We're looking forward to the festival parade tomorrow morning where we hear the floats will be eye candy for those with green thumbs.
We'll be heading two hours north of Chiang Mai tomorrow to volunteer on an organic farm for a week or two. We can't wait to roll up our sleeves and learn more about sustainable agriculture. Be back in touch in a few weeks.
