the most wonderful massage

semi-overcast 30 °C

HIYA!

Just had the most wonderful massage. For the past couple of days my legs have been painful and stiff. I was thinking that I understood why. A couple of nights ago I was a little cold and had only one small blanket to sleep with. So I slept on my side and curled up my legs so I could my whole body under it. I woke up the next morning feeling okay. But after a couple of hours walking started to feel the pain and stiffness. Later that day it occured to me that my sleeping position and the cold was the cause. I've done this before and have always felt the pain and stiffness.

Thought it would have gone away by now though.

When I saw a sign for a traditional Thai massage at a temple I decided to have a try. Wow was that ever wonderful.

The pain and stiffness in my legs disappeared as I lie down. She massaged my stomach and it hurt so I had her stop. She said it's because I've been walking so much and haven't had a massage.

I really felt much better overall. After getting back on the road my legs hurt. There's a temple just a few kms from here so I'll stop there for the night.

I'm two or three days away from a friend's house who grows lots of organic fruits. I expect to meet up with some other friends there and we'll have a little durian party!

For whatever it's worth, I'm still on hwy 317, at the northern tip of Pong Nam Ron sub-district.

Love, Troy.
