Dharma bums

She served me a bowl of what I think was rice pudding, on top of that she sliced something that had a cake-like texture. Again, I’m not sure what I was eating but it was good. Along with the mystery bowl she served me a hacked open coconut with a straw in it to drink the fresh coconut milk. I think that must be an acquired taste. During the day we worked on the blog sought out a barbershop for a shave and began packing for our departure.That evening we were invited on a river cruise. It took more than an hour in the rather bizarre Bangkok traffic to get to the marina. We were seated at a table on the upper deck of a large boat designed for the purpose of a dinner cruise up and down the river. This is obviously a popular activity as we encountered several other similar boats doing the same thing. The sights were incredible, anything from a simple night market to high-rise condos with an elaborate temple or two mixed in.Sunday began with breakfast at Moi’s again. This day she served a squash and coconut milk soup, I think. Again, the fresh coconut mild in its own container accompanied the meal. We said our thank yous and goodbyes to our hosts and friends that we have made and piled into a taxi for the airport at about 10:00 AM, the beginning of a very long day of travel.

It seems, in real life, all good things must come to an end and so it was with our 2 1/2 week fantasy in Thailand.
