ClickAfter Thai massages, (in my case quite painful, but they just laughed at my groans), we took a Grab to Kannika’s house in Nonthaburi, a region north of Bangkok, though part of overall Bangkok metropolitan area. Kannika’s mother-in-law met us at the gate and showed us in. We had time for a quick rest, and […]
ClickSaturday My volunteered to take the girls to their various dance and piano lessons, thus freeing up Kook to play with us. She wanted to take us to Ko Kret and the Chatuchak Weekend Market. Ko Kret Ko Kret is a small island in the Chao Phraya River, just north of Bangkok. It was a […]
Click Okay really! This doesn’t look like a 90 year old grandma. Well of course, that is because she isn’t. She’s only 89 and a half. The big event this summer in Door County was clearly the celebration of my mother’s 90th birthday. Granted, it doesn’t occur until January, but she decided to go ahead […]
ClickSorry for the delay in posting. It’s been a busy several weeks since arriving back. We’re also suffering a bit of “extended travel readjustment affliction,” or EXTRA. (One of EXTRA’s symptoms is photo forgetfulness, so you may see a dearth of photos.) Now, about four weeks since returning, we’ll try to catch you up on what’s […]
ClickWe returned from our Hamlet adventure to Casper and Gasia’s place for a delicious dinner, cooked by Grasia. The next day we had Casper to ourselves to see Copenhagen. We headed downtown where we grabbed a canal tour. We were able to see many of the standard touristic sites (i.e. the “forever disappointing” little mermaid). […]
ClickTitle Picture: Dirk Driving Kiki Away on the Back of his Bicycle We loved Amsterdam, and Dirk, and Kiki, but it is quite an expensive place to stay. Dirk suggested we go to Haarlem, and we’re glad he did. Once a thriving sea port, Haarlem was founded in the 1200’s. It is filled with old buildings. […]
ClickSo Dirk, our consummate tour guide/host, decided to take us home. That is to say, his familial home. But we were not to go directly. Rather we went via the Hoge Veluwe National Park. Who would have thought that there would be national parks in the Netherlands? Well, there are. And one of the nice things, […]
ClickIt’s been a bit since the last post. I developed a viral infection about a week ago. Ellen got it a few days later. Not fun, and we’re presumably on the mend, but worry about carrying it with us on the flight. Blakey flew down last Friday. We hung a bit in Lalaland. Saturday we […]
ClickI grew up with two cousins, an uncle, and an aunt. Ellen grew up with infinite cousins, uncles, and aunts. In addition, distance of cousins (first, second, third, removed, etc.) is not much of a consideration in her family. The only exception is going through the common ritual of diagramming the family tree to each other. […]
ClickCarole King and Cat Stevens are singing to me and Steve is tolerating it pretty well. We have made it to the ocean! I keep getting asked what it is like to be on the road together so much,what do we do? How are we getting along? Well, we read a lot, listen to books […]
