The second day that Patrick and I arrived in our new hometown of Uttaradit, we went out and bought ourselves a nice used motorbike. [Side note: While he has mastered the skill of maneuvering that thing around town, I am still hesitantly learning.... but, after cruising with Miss Libby Anna last weekend through a crazy storm, I realize that I'm a bit of a wuss and need to "step-it-up."] That being said, my new favorite past time is sitting on the back of scoot, pretending to be an action photographer [sometimes while simultaneously drinking a char yen or a dragonfruit smoothie] while Patrick deals with the issue of getting us there.
Our first weekend we set out with two other teachers, Meredith and Kelsey, to Namtok Mae Phun, a waterfall located outside the little town of Lap Lae, a few kilometers away. After a beautiful drive through the fields we arrived at the waterfall. Being curious, we hiked up some nearby mossy steps to find ourselves submerged in the jungle. Eventually we came out atop the waterfall, dirty and sweaty. After some time we made our way back down (even more dirty and sweaty) and were welcomed by a nice family who fed us sticky rice, pork, and bananas. Aroi maak.
