If you've ever pondered, a gecko can survive an hour long washing machine cycle and come out seemingly alright. Poor thing. I went out to hang clean laundry and found him ready to escape the machine's wrath. He must've crawled into my waiting pile of dirty darks, but finally skittered away with all 4 (clean) legs appearing to work fine
Be sure to ask Rob about his sunset bike ride last week... no, wait, let me tell you! This is the lonely hut he considered sleeping in Monday night. After arriving home early from work that day, he ventured out before dinner for a short ride in jungled mountains behind us and got lost on the quickly darkening, moonless eve
He went over this fairly remote hill in the pitch of black while I was driving nearby roads, expecting to find him hiking back with flat tire
As I returned home alone & terrified, he happened upon 2 fishermen at this lake and pulled out enough Thai to ask that they please haul his lost self home in their pickup. Only 2 hours late for dinner. If not for fishermen, he may have stayed at previous hut till dawn's first light and we girls may have lost our minds in cobra nightmares. Rob is amassing a growing shelf of memoirs on being lost or losing things (like rental cars) in various kingdoms, empires & republics. I'm slightly anxious for chapters he could write next month in India
Biking adventures or other may have stirred some conjunctivitis, and drops from doctor aren't yet helping. Things like this do seem to require more tropical time to heal
Along highway into Bangkok last weekend
Wild & wacky day during spirit week, against a backdrop of old, beat up lockers. School's working on replacing textbooks with Kindles or laptops, so there won't be such need for new locker space anyway... I appreciate that kind of thinking
A very hot Egypt Day last month
Not much new going on, just trying hard to keep track of everyone.
A medium size box of Special K costs $12 here. I don't buy Special K here or anywhere, but noticed it last week when picking up fixins for mueslix & thought I'd share the little pricing tidbit. Looking forward to returning next month to West Michigan prices on favorite foods from home. Strawberry fields & Pereddie's deli...here we come.
I hear the rolling thunder. Monsoon season is upon us.
