Day Twenty Two: Getting Our Bearings

We spent the day bumming around the old city, checking stuff out. Brunch was at this incredible restaurant, Blue Diamomd, that wouldn’t have been out of place in Berkeley. Vegan, gluten-free baked goods, chia seeds, and avocados everywhere. After lounging there till around two two we rolled ourselves out of there and started to explore Chiang Mai.

Kerry, beaming with excitement about all the great stuff Blue Diamond has. My personal favorite was the vegan, gluten free ginger avocado muffins. They were a little too ginger-y for Kerry's discerning taste, but I loved them!

One of the coolest cafés in Chiang Mai. The owner is a well known photographer who decided to set up shop.

Miss Chiang Mai Flower Festival International: the most awkward beauty pageant ever. It was as though they had just gone to a bunch of hostels to rounded up contestants. We caught the talent portion of the contest, acro yoga, juggling, singing, even a little club dancing.

Lights. Everywhere. The giant tulip things in the background reminded me of the huge flowers that were put out mid-market last winter. Wouldn't mind seeing them there!
