For Good Luck and Strength

In the dragon's mouth for good luck and strength since I was down for the count at the week's beginning after consuming something that wreaked havoc in my belly.

After two days I managed to go on a guided bike tour just south of the old gated city. We are now in Thailand's northern city, Chiangmai. First, we stopped at a Chinese buddhist temple, where a small group of nuns live. We learned about the lady buddha Guan Yin and walked inside the dragon.

Interestingly, I recently hung a gorgeous tapestry of her in our bedroom that I have had lying around since my Esalen training in Ubud. I had forgotten her name and her story.
