Hi,
Today was a rainy day. It began last night with a very hard downpour and then showers all day. We didn't leave the house. It was still a good day.
Congrats to all those who got the 'Easy Monday' song on the first day. The band's name is from an old blues tune.
"When I'm watchin' my TV and a man comes on and tells me how white my shirts should be, but he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me. I can't get no... Hint: Yo, it's easy. Not satisfied with that answer?
We left off yesterday with our return to Earth after our balloon ride. By the time we had landed, the crowd had grown to the point where we were ready to leave. On our way out we passed one of Cat's friends and her parents. There were a lot of our friends there but we didn't see them. As we drove down the road to the main entrance, there was a long line of cars waiting to get into the parking area. I don't know where they were going to put them, it was crazy.
As we approached the Pink Bridge on the way to our house we encountered another massive traffic jam. Cars were double parked and on one side of the road it was an ocean of motorbikes. Lanterns and fireworks were filling the air. We sent two lanterns into the air and then watched the sky from the front yard. Cat commented that the display fireworks were very beautiful but not good for the sky. Hmm.
There is a small coffee shop at Central Plaza that we frequent because the coffee is good and we can watch the shoppers. It's called Eliza's and they recently opened a restaurant/coffee shop in town. Sunday the three of us went there for lunch. The owner, 'Meet', is very nice and was willing to cook with some sunflower oil we brought her. We have realized that many places use soy oil, which my system does not tolerate very well. She will keep the jar of oil so I can have 'clean' meals.
The plan for Sunday evening was to go to the river and place our Krathongs in the water. Cat informed us that she had a school friend that wanted to meet her at the fairgrounds. We weren't up for the crush of the crowd or the noise so her friend, a boy, said he'd come to the house and they would walk to the river. I don't think they considered it a date, although it seemed like it, but we set a time for her to return and she was cool with it. When they came back to the house they were laughing and taking pictures of themselves in the driveway. She was very happy and so were we.
Monday was another party day across the river and we saw more lanterns in the sky, more fireworks, and more loud firecrackers. Cat went back with her friend Pawn, and they put Krathongs in the river. Pawn's father drove them both ways so our minds were at ease.
Today's photo is from the balloon light show at the Farm Festival. The blue spotlights were my favorite.
Have a Happy Tuesday.
Peace,
Danny
