Day 40 Sunday stroll 2/9/14

Today was an interesting day. It was one of those days that felt slow. Not slow in the sense that we were anxious for something to happen, but slow in a good way, slow in the sense that there was a calm and peaceful feeling in the air. We spent a good chunk of our afternoon walking around the old city moat. On our walk we came across the flower festival. The flower festival is an event that happens once a year in Chiang Mai,where the city gets decorated with beautiful flowers, and special  parade floats are made with extravagant flowers and designs. We walked through the park admiring the flower floats and looking at all the vendors.From here we continued our slow stroll around the moat. The corners of the moat have the remains of an ancient wall dating back to the 1200's. We walked to the top of one of the walls and checked out the view of the city.It was a gorgeous day. From here we stopped by our apartment to grab some money and then went to get dinner. After dinner we had a relaxing night in.
