Since my last blog, I have taken a long water taxi ride. Wow.. you can really get around for 13 bt. It is worth learning the whistle codes and watching the back of the boat man jump in and off and whistle when to go and how to back up. It took about an hour to go to the end of the line... a very nice woman told me we are at the end of the line and got the ticket lady to get me on the next boat back to stop 13.. note stop 13.. very near the infamous roll on the dock location... took the cut a way we took last week but went to the right. The ride was great and fun..I was hoping not to hear .. "boat crashed on the river." It is a very crowded place... hopeful I got a few pics to indicate the real crowd. I want to break here and talk about this puter space. There are two German's next to be.. a very drunk Aussie woman talking to some f... jerk... about some f.. deal.. and then a few others. Def. I would consider a phone line on the puter.. everyone is talking in good time. This am.. I call Georgianna to see what she wanted in the gem line. I used the same phone Shelia did a week ago.. (would you not think I would learn) it was def. a phone she bought on the street..the call was only 30bht.. less than $1. The drunken on is moving to the puter next to me and .more Italians.just came in.. . hairy group... After the boat I had a face massage.. very relaxing and nice. I noted the place accross from the place we ate last week after the boat trip. I also bought a bus ticket south near there and had a baked potatoes and beer. It is 8pm here and I will do my regular thing... get some nuts.. have a beer and just watch the crowd until tired.. then try to sleep.
The following is my plan for the next few days... I will be on a tour tomorrow at 7am.. minvan which will take me to the old capital .. five stops...Wat's with lunch and return at 4. I will either meet up with Beth and Martin or not.. but will pack for the trip home and pull out my beach stuff.. and get the stuff into storage sat. night. I am catching the minivan for the bus station at 10am.. the cost of the travel is 350 bt...which will take me from the end of my street to the bus and then on to the bus... I will come back Tues morning early by train... the gem shop is not that far from the train. I am not sure of lodging for Tues.. but will probably stay at the star dome... I pick up the finished glasses Weds at 6... then to the airport Weds night by about 10ish and on home. So the long and short.. not sure when I will be on again.. Since I am down to the short trip and it is not easy for me to tell all of you that it is about 75 tonight.. clear with a little breeze. I read that Anna Nicole died today.. I sat here and looked at so many people spinning out of control or putting poison into themselves.. very sad.. the destruction of life. I did read the want ads today.. a few project managers.. but my Thai is tied. I was very nervous there for a minute.. the drunk laid her head down.. and I was fearful of a porcelain pray session.. I have seen many people who will not remember as much as I... I had a bite today at lunch and talked to three Brit girls who have been here for 6 months.. don't think so.. ice and snow is bad.. but my bed will be a relief. bye for now.. b
