A Tribute to St. Patrick: He Makes It Rain

Call it luck of the Irish, or whatever you will, but a true miracle has happened: it rained in Chiang Mai.

On Tuesday night, as I was on my way to the U.N. Irish Pub for a celebratory pint of Guiness, an unseasonable thunderstorm hit Chiang Mai.

The result: clean air! It's amazing what several hours of rain can do for air quality. Tuesday night, I slept better than I have in months (I know what you're thinking, and it wasn't the Guinness). Wednesday was cool (even chilly at night), and I saw a blue sky for the first time since Sam and I were in Krabi three weeks ago. I actually feel like exercising again.

Today the heat is back, but the pollution isn't! Thanks, St. Pat, for a little reprieve from Na Rawn.
