Mike's Wedding

Once again, better late than never.  Here are some quick pics from my trip home for Mike's wedding.

Weekend With P' Pat

This is almost a month old, but better late than never.  Although we live in the city, Nuch and I don't spend much time with her brother.  So, we made in effort to belatedly celebrate our birthdays, which are both Feb 9th. 

We spent one evening at the pub watching Manchester United.

and the next day we went to the beach for seafood by the short.

Rainbow Farmer Luggage

If you've ever taken a bus in Northeast Thailand, you're bound to have seen a family of farmers going somewhere with seemingly everything they own.  And when farmers need to take everything they own somewhere, they generally use a plastic bag made from rainbow colored tarp. 

Apparently, they're not just for farmers.  These are some of the bags Nuch bought to help with our move last month.

 

Holy Water To Go

This afternoon, Nuch and I had lunch with a friend of hers and her American husband, who were back from the US for a long holiday.  They happen to be Catholic and had been to Easter Mass that morning at one of the local churches.  Apparently, along with Easter Eggs, they're also handing out Holy Water. 

If you're curious, it tastes a lot like normal water.

I'm Going To Get Tutored

The other day I paid a visit to my old friend Stu.  Usually, his dog, Silver, is there to greet me when I come through the gate, which includes an attempt at a slobbery kiss and rubbing his dirty paws all over my pants.

This time, however, he was much more subdued. 

Apparently, he had chased one too many females around the neighborhood and had to got get "tutored" like the Far Side dog that's bragging to his friend, Biff.

The new, laid-back Silver.
