The Two Travellers
become the Three Travellers |
 This
month has started in an interesting way...
We are going to have a baby!
I was recommended to go to the Mungala Chinese Herbal Medical Center
to get some natural herbs to aid conception.
Little did I know that while I was in the office learning
about the herbs, I was already pregnant!
|
|
|
| Well now, that's some exciting news, eh? |
 I
see you've already heard the news! Yes, indeed, Lisa is pregnant.
Baby Mai, (pronounced: my)
is the pre-birth name of our new child. Baby Mai is due on October
the 7th, 2003.
I am sure Baby Mai is enjoying the
stay.
The food [now that mommy feels a bit less like she's on
a ship in a gale] is much nicer now too.
:) You mothers didn't tell her
it was going to be like this! |
I wrote a story about how we discovered
Baby Mai's arrival... you can read it here...
It is entitled, 'The
News You are Going to Be a Father...' |

A Relaxing trip to the Sankhampang Hot Springs.
Near Chiang Mai, North Thailand |
|  With
our new friends, Rolf and Karen (from
Germany) we headed to the springs to have a relaxing morning.
We drove out past mountains, paddy fields, and palm trees.
|
 We
swam in the mineral water, cooked eggs in the superheated pools
and highly enjoyed the location, weather, and company...

| Chiang Mai Flower Festival 2003 |
 Chiang
Mai get's down to some festivities this month at the Flower Festival
2003.
The parade rocked the streets while the flower-laden floats wafted
past the international crowd... Read
more about the Chiang Mai Flower Festival 2003
Thailand is really an amazing place. We have been here in Chiang
Mai since November, and we have been to festival after festival.
|
 It's
an inspiring place.
The people of Thailand live a life like no other people I have
come across.
Did you know that it is part of the culture to make work fun?
They have the attitude that if it's not fun, it's not worth doing.
So they make it ALL fun!
As you can see from the parade, they sure know how to make life
fun! |
 We
took a tour of the Flower Show, which was centred around the South
West corner of the old city.
Here I am perched on the wall ruins at that same corner of the
moat. |
 The
Flower displays were gorgeous.
Being a sub-tropical climate, the flowers sure enjoy growing!
It was a pleasure to be at festival such as this.
Here you can see the prize show
cabbages. |
 The
floats were all hand made and covered with all types of flowers.
To see more of the floats visit: The
Chiang Mai Flower Festival 2003 page. |
I know someone who wanted to join the parade.
Unfortunately it wasn't her Tuk Tuk. |

| Finally... |
 The
weather in Chiang Mai in February is beautiful. It is quite cool
in the mornings and in the afternoon is gets lovely and hot –
sunbathing weather for sure.
We've been staying at Joyce, Jim and Sharon's place in Mae Rim,
about 15 mintues from Chiang Mai. It is a beautiful place to be;
very relaxing and comfortable. It is just what I needed after a
week of constant-motion sickness. |
I am much more 'stable' and have really begun to enjoy the beautiful
news, and the pregnancy itself.
We're having a baby! :) |
