Lets visit the Mothership Chiang Mai - Marcos beautiful vision

Here's how this one worked out.  Michelle met Tim Martin at our friends place Dougs.  Tim had a cool I Love You Pass it on T-shirt.  Michelle got a hold of Shawn Jason the I Love You Pass it on creator and ordered some I Love You cards. https://iloveyoupassiton.com.  She needed more and learned of another I Love You supporter in Thailand named Marco.  Marco was in the last few month's of building a series of dome buildings as part of a future retreat centre called the Mothership Chiang Mai. https://web.facebook.com/MothershipChiangMai/  Michelle reached out for a possible get together to help with whatever we could.  We were fortunate Marco's home was minutes from our Chai Lai Orchid location.  Our Thai taxi driver struggled with the Google Map link but knew a Marco.  Off we drove to another Marco.  Oops.  Luckily a Thai worker was present and knew of the described dome building.  We were lucky to spot the buildings from the road else we would have missed it.  Marco greeted us warmly and introduced us to his partner Kiki and several workers including William from Britain.  We helped out a little before settling down for the evening.  It was nice to sleep in this space.  William told us the valley is full of dogs that will sometimes howl in waves in the evening.  We heard this and it was wonderful.  The chickens later did the same.  After an ok sleep we all got up, packed and tried to help out with cleaning and cooking.  Marco offered to drive us back to Chiang Mai and we stopped at the home of Jenny another friend who is building a beautiful Thai Yoga Massage training center.  Wow.

Delicate work here.  Something the size of the Sun here takes 1 day

This was the very kind :Lullaby Hostel Security Guard

He started at 11 PM and sat throughout the night keeping us safe

I said hello to him each morning and evening I could

We could not manage each others language but still formed a nice bond

He was wearing our Canadian pin we left him a week earlier.

I hope he is around when I return
