We made the quick drive up to Chiang Mai from Lampang this afternoon. We stopped at the local umbrella factory, where we painted our own authentic cotton umbrellas. A quick lunch at the Boat Restaurant and Bakery was followed by a hike up one of the close-by mountains; a beautiful temple was perched waiting for us at the top of our climb. The details that the Thais put into their Buddhist temples is absolutely incredible! Lastly, we checked into our hotel and visited the night bazaar for dinner and final shopping opportunity. We begin our long series of flights back to the United States tomorrow. Prayers would be greatly appreciated for our safe travels. See you at home!

| Goodbye, for now, our friends! |

| Making the umbrella cotton is similar to making dung paper- Morgan's a pro! |
 |
| The struggle was real on the trek up countless flights of stairs to The temple on the mountain... |
 |
| ...But the view was worth it! |
 |
| Our hotel has gorgeous views of Chiang Mai. |
Wow what a view from those many steps....the hotel view is great too...
