Day 36: traditional Thai massage

Have you had one of these? It's not like the relaxation massages I've experienced before. Oh no. I had a little Thai grandmother stretching me and straddling me in what seemed to me wrestling moves, using her heels to work my thighs, bending my legs back toward my head, putting my legs in a 1/2 lotus, kneading, thumbing and twanging. My joints emitted little happy cracks under the applied pressure. It sounds more yoga than spa but I felt like I'd had a hot toddy. You know-that warmth that settles in your belly, but in my calves and shoulders instead. Afterwards Thai Nana lifted the towel draped over my eyes with a little, "Hell-o-ooooo." I was appropriately drooly. Thanks Nana.
