Hi,
Another bright and sunny day in CR. Today we went to the Post Office for the first time. I had to mail a document back to the States. As we entered the building, a young woman asked us if we needed help. Oh yeah. We explained what we needed to do and she took us upstairs and helped us get things taken care of. It seems like there's always someone around to help us deal with new things.
After the P.O. we went to Nut's mom's restaurant for lunch. The only thing we could remember from the dinner there, was the fish. It was a big fish, a whole fish. We had that again. Delicious, steamed, with extra ginger on top. We've been ordering like that lately. "King mak, mak" Say that and you'll get extra ginger. We took a couple of pics after we ate and I've posted them today. There's also a pic of a 'rolling coffee shop'.
After lunch we stopped next door and had dessert at a Doi Chaang. Lisa had a strawberry ice drink and I had iced coffee and toffee cake. Yum.
We got a call from Pui about the house and took a tuk-tuk down to the shop. It seems like we're getting down to the wire and fine details. Feeling confident that they'll accept our counter, we continued with our mellow day.
After a light 'rest', it was time for our second Thai lesson with Ploy. Also added a pic of our teacher to the site. She's connecting us with someone who may be willing to do some cooking and driving. Things are coming together.
A bunch of you knew the song. I know that more of you know, you just didn't have time to respond. It's really weird, being on the other side of the world. There's a morning window when we get mail, then nothing all day. You're all asleep.
We go to check and laugh. 'There's no mail. Nobody's awake.' Anyway, here's the opening of the song. Think.
"__ __ __ __ to live, white lace and promises, a kiss for luck and we're on our way..." I don't think you need Clues.
We're down to three regular dinner spots, so we rotate. Tonight we ate at the downstairs, outdoor Night Bazaar spot, where it all began. Every night the young musicians play. Tonight I took a picture for you. What really impresses me is that they all can play all of the instruments. Each night they rotate. How many bands to you know that can do that?
Enjoy your day, what ever the weather. We hear a little bit of news of the west, mixed in with what you tell us. Looks like the boys and girls at 'Storm Watch Super HD 2007' will get to play with the screens again. Hope you get some rain in L.A. We also hope the weather changes in NH, where the leaves still haven't turned yet. Hmm.
Don't forget to check out the new pics.

Peace,
Danny
