Dream

Hi,
We had another cool day in paradise. This morning we had coffee and toast, sat around and talked and laughed. Blue went out into the yard (which is yet to be named) and began taking pictures. Lisa and I followed with our new camera that Blue brought from the States. It's a Nikon S51 and it's wonderful. You've been seeing pics from it this week. Anyway, I took a bunch of pics that are posted on the Flickr site. We couldn't believe some of the plants and flowers in 'our' yard. It's like living in an arboretum. There are tropical flowers, fruit trees (mango, papaya, bread fruit, banana...) and things that make you go Hmm.
After lunch we went into town and bought some table supplies. We're having our first dinner party this Saturday. We've invited Pui, Third, Nat (pronounced Nut), Nu and Jen. Jen may not make it because she's been sick, but it should be a fun, yummy evening. Boot is an excellent cook and we're hoping she stays with us. She introduced us to a Tuk-Tuk driver named Singha (Sing=Lion). He took us to town, waited, and brought us back. Waited a bit more and took us back to town.
Oh, the song thing. Brenda and Frank got it, so I know more of you must know it. Here's a bit more to tease you:
"Most of all he needs the funk (shine it), Help him find the funk (ha, funk it), Most of all he needs the funk...." Hint: The leader is not the brother of a former president (Ha). Can I shine some light on the subject?
After our shopping, we came back, regrouped and went for our Thai lesson. After the lesson, the three of us got a foot massage, which is more than just that. The focus is on the reflexology point in the feet, that affect the whole body. They also massage the lower legs, and finish with the hands, arms and upper back. Sheer bliss.
We returned to a delicious dinner of stir-fried shrimp, rice and vegetables. Today we made contact with iTunes radio, something I'd never done. One of our favorite coffee shops plays it a lot so we had to try it. I'm listening to Iceberg Radio's Ambient/Chill channel and it's great.
Tomorrow we're getting up early and going to Chiang Rai in the big van. We should be back in time for me to share the adventure with you. (aren't you thrilled?)
Have a Cool Day. (I hear it's been hot)

Peace,
Danny

PS If you think we're having a wonderful time doing basically nothing, you're right!
