Went on a little trip to see lots of friends and spend some time at their sites. Carolyn lives in a pretty rural place. She has the cutest little place with her dog Lucky. We popped a karaoke VCD into her computer and belted out some tunes the evening I arrived. The dogs in her neighborhood howled along. Oh, and treat of all treats, Carolyn has a toaster oven and made me a baked potato and sweet potato chips.
In the morning we went on a great bike ride out to a resevoir. There was a few hills which I am so not used to. Riding down one I picked up some speed and I smiled as the wind passed me it
made me think of skiing. Pathetic. Get this girl to some snow.[actually Jeeda, Wendy, and I are going to 'Dream World' near Bangkok this sunday and they have a room with snow apparently!!!]
We passed lots of rice fields, and even though I have about 200 pictures of rice fields I needed to take more. I LOVE them so much. Today on my run I took the turn at the end of the road, passed all the houses, and BEHOLD fresh green rice fields for miles into the distance. It made me gasp. The sight is so pure, beautiful, graceful, innocent, peaceful, and open.
After the ride at Carolyn's we got some som tam (papaya salad) and went for a walk out behind Carolyns house with Lucky and a few other neighborhood dogs who are apparently a bad influence on
Lucky because sometimes they run around and kill neighborhood chickens. We sat in a small wooden platform on the edge of the fields and had our salad and mango.
