Chiang Mai is AMAZING!!!

| RELEASE THE LANTERNS!!! |
We were in Chiang Mai, Thailand for the past 5 days enjoying the sites, sounds, and the FOOD!!! We were lucky to catch a late night bus from Bangkok so we could make it in time for the amazing Loi Krathong/Lantern Festival! It happens every year on the Full Moon in the 12th month of the Thai Lunar Calendar, which is usually November for us Americans. The festival started as a way of celebrating respect to the spirit of the waters, but now it is just a time for Thai people to party and have a bunch of fun!

| Those aren't stars, they're lanterns! |
There were awesome fireworks, a huge parade, the water was filled with krathongs(flower rafts), thousands of lanterns in the sky, and just crazy debauchery around every corner. We had a blast!

| Beautiful! |

To end with, here is one of our favorite photos (actually 3 photos) from the festival!:
