June 18, 2004More Pampering
Ahhhhhh, facials..... Today I went to the spa for a second day of pampering. Yesterday I went for an aromatherapy oil massage, rather than the violent Thai massage. It was heaven. I liked it so much, I made an appointment for a facial for today and somehow it was even better. All of the chunks of the Gobi Desert that were lodged in my protesting pores are now gone. I feel much better. In my state of high relaxation, I went to my fav silver shop here in Chiang Mai, a place called NOVA. I had eyed up a heavy silver bracelet that looks like tree twigs the last time I was here but Ant dragged me out of the store. This time he wasn't here to restrain me, and I bought it after they said they'd customize it for me. If I didn't like it, they'd switch it back. I also bought my sister the classy more grown up piece of jewelry I promised I'd find her when she was here. On Monday I will head back to Bangkok for a day and then fly out to Oregon. I can't believe this trip is almost over- it's gone by so quickly. Mom: Please check email and reply. I've sent you a list of clothes I'd like you to send to Ant's. Thanks. Comments
read, done. Mom, You should have seen the state I was in. Luckily, all turned out well. The facial was great. Thanks for sending the stuff to OR. What exactly did you send in the way of skirts/shirts? Posted by: Claudia on June 18, 2004 09:18 AMI've always enjoyed facials much more than massages. Don't know why, but I find they relax me much more and you feel so much more refreshed afterwards. I'm in Thailand next week and can't wait to do the whole spa thing! Posted by: Liz on June 18, 2004 01:30 PMSo, I am so freakin' psyched for you to get out here to Oregon! You're gonna love it! Enjoy the last few days of your trip - I can't wait to hear all the stories (well, I guess I've read most of them by now, but still!) Also, check your email - I have a friend in Thailand that's going to email you and maybe you two can get together. Some cool experience you had aye. :o) Sorry, just felt like writing but don't got nuts to write. haha I met up with Lets and she mentioned bout bumping into you in Singapore... Anyways, here's wishing ya all the best and more trips to come :o) Posted by: Angeline on June 19, 2004 12:55 PMThe trip is almost over... and you are spending your days as a true American would...shopping and pampering!!! Enjoy!!! (cause reality is coming sooner than you think) Have a safe trip home... look forward to hearing from you- literally via telephone! Posted by: Stephanie on June 19, 2004 06:15 PMWell, I restrained myself yesterday... I only bought about $5-6 worth of goodies, which would have cost like $30 in the States. Herbal oils, snazzy soaps, tea baths, etc. I sense decadence today though because it's Sunday and on Sundays there is a cool street market down the street from my top notch tropical guesthouse. I tried to get Ant to eat bugs with me when he was here, but I'll have to do it on my own today.
