Across the world from Chicago to Chiang Mai, we are transplanted travelers living amongst the gracious Thai, settling into a 700-year old city in the shadows of Doi Suthep, sampling new cuisines & living an expat's sun-drenched dream... Instruments in hand & our puppy in tow, looking for a yoga sangha to grow, we offer up this window into our lives, knowing we've arrived home though it feels so strange; so we chronicle this process of how we evolve & change...

The Anniversary Experience @ the Four Seasons Spa
We celebrated our first wedding anniversary at the Four Seasons Chiang Mai spa... It's quite the serene getaway spot, in the Mae-rim area to the northwest of the city. The landscaping is divine, the hospitality unbeatable, and we enjoyed a glorious, divine, 4-hour treatment at the spa. The treatment was a "thai body ritual - composed of a Thai herbal steam, herbal garden refresher body scrub, a natural Thai herb wrap, a herbal bath and a Thai massage." I don't think I've ever been as relaxed as I was under the care of a very attentive therapist, who scrubbed me with salts, rubbed me with an herbal balm, and swaddled me in banana leaves before working out my kinks. It was a sublime experience, and a fantastic first anniversary. Thanks for the good wishes, folks. Here's to many more to come!
