March 11 was my birthday! We arrived at Chiang Mai River House at noon and the beautiful owner, Amarin, presented us with a plate of luscious fruit that we quickly devoured as we sat on the deck overlooking the river. A week earlier, Tony and I had unexpectedly ended up at "The World's Largest Jewelry Store," thinking we were going to a village where we could watch silver smiths and jewelers at their trade. We just so happened to see an amethyst ring that fit me perfectly, and since amethyst is my birthstone and it was approaching the 11th, we decided this was one of those serendipitous moments and bought the ring.
And this is where I spent the afternoon on my birthday! Wearing my new ring, feeling pretty relaxed and happy, reading a good book and drinking tea! Ahhhh, how much better does it get?!
Later that day as we walked along the riverbank to the markets, we came upon a mass of sunflowers and I thought to myself: "These really express how I feel right now: happy, bright and alive! Thank you sunflowers!!
