This is to remind me what rested looks like |
Thursday morning after checking on my Cedar friend and her malaise...I was off to a scrub and oil massage... it was dejavu..but without Monika ..After a beetroot salad and bee/celery/apple juice drink.I came home and slept until I thought..best get up or ai am going to sleep thru a day. I went off to get a massage...but when I walked in they , that I wanted a deep tissue massage and as soon as I was prone, she had her knee my calf and I almost had to hold my hand in my mouth to keep from screaming or crying..I think only my fingers were not attached...it was beyond pain but like always.. when it was over.. I felt pretty good when it was over but the beet juice and salad was starting to catch up with the avocado salad and 2 mango shakes from the day before. So I did Italian and had 3 cheese pasta.

After dinner,I knew what I would find, but I walked the backstreets to the night market and found Poon's place next to the morning glory place.... no Poon...
only a picture of him since he died almost a year ago...he had three small spirit houses but no opium wts and few antiques. I bought a 300 bt bell for old time sake... walked home thinking....Angel, Poon, and Stick....no more.
By the time I got home, all the fruit had caught up to my digestion..so I spent some time in the happy room and read... took my homeo and slept most of the night...had cheese omelet and toast and got ready to cook.
top is a mushroom...jelly or elephant ear..used in soups also in the middle on the top is the small egg plant..which is very bitter..kifir lime then Thai ginger, turmeric line and gin-zing
It was an excellent class with just four people... because is was so small.. learned a great deal,,,and now almost 5am..and I will blog...but I am just feeling sad...all the loss? ...tired/ trip coming to close.. feeling sand in my shoes..who knows...just sad...had more than enough to eat today..and will just sit..take it easy..nothing to do...no place to go...happy not to be “productive”
top is the wrap up and eat..and she encouraged me to use lettuce...then pat thai on the top right
the cook and khow soi and spring rolls....
Just a few more words about the Ellie park... those of us that haw watched Michelle cut the Mellon with one hand with a machete...she is not missing the first two sections of her index finger.... This kind of travel is not for everyone...nor all the jobs are good for all...but for me...it is good and I find it helps me to get the sand out of my shoes...and my final picture of 'stick"....someone found his stick
The last stick |

Sad about Stick but happy that FuManChew doggie is still there! Sounds like you've been going through some times, my friend. Sad to hear about Poon being gone as well. Much loss, but your photos capture a world filled with beauty and hope.
