Last Morning Weaw's Family Home

I woke up at 615am my last day in Weaw's family home, wrote some quick notes as I walked around the farm waiting to leave.

- Mist and fog hanging over everything, I cannot see the treed mountain in front of Waews home.

- Slight chill in the air, I feel quite comfortable in my short sleeve shirt (being a Canadian) but most Thais wearing long sleeve shirts and light jackets or sweaters.

- Weaw's father sweeping up leaves and garbage around a dirt shack out back.

- Roosters still crowing (will they ever stop?)

- Small banana's freshly picked laying on a bench in the house out back. Weaw's mother will make deserts out of the bananas and sell them at the local market.

- Grandma up and active before me, what time does she wake up at everyday? 73 years old and going strong.

- Man shows up with a big pink and black pig in the the caged sidecar of his motorbike. Leaves 15 minutes later with the pig after spending time out back with Weaw's father.

- We are all ready and head out to catch the local bus. Everyone comes out to say goodbye to us, dad, mom and grandma (with a cane) along with several neighbors. It turns out we missed the bus (flew by earlier than expected, buses fly on the roads in this area) and had to take a truck to another area to catch a different non air con bus to Chiang Rai (1 hour 30 minutes) then a first class A/C bus to Chiang Mai (3 hours).
