Path to Recovery

After hardcore trekking and Lindsey's finger injury (see previous post), we checked in to Pairadise (cheesy name, but a great hotel) for some much needed relaxation. Lindsey finally got her anti-inflamatories, soaked in the pool, and took in another massage and mani-pedi. For those in Pai, she highly recommends the massage at "IceHouse". She especially enjoyed the manicure were she was presented with a wide variety of sparkly nail polishes, manufactured by HelloKitty.



Steve got bored and "boated" around a little pond.



The only activity in these two days was a 2.5-hour Yoga class at YogaSala, Steve's first. He got a lot of enjoyment out of the instructors meditative instructions, such as "whatever it is, just be happy with it" and "awaken the tips of your nose." Yet despite the funny moments, it certainly helped to stretch out our muscles.

In the evening we saw "Milk" at a theater constructed of bamboo with a bedsheet for a screen. We laughed as mid-way through the movie a subtitle appeared: "This copy is for awards consideration only and not for public presentation." Oh well, welcome to Pai.

Two days of relaxing had offset one with Mr. Chart.
