travelogue two

Today's water route was out to the Huay Tung Toa reservoir and lake.  The good king created the area to help with the dought many years ago.   I am not sure he knew what a wonderful spot this would be for the folks in the area.  There is no charge for the little water bungalows but you are expected to drink and eat.   Since I have been coming out here, there is more little areas to sit.  Also, you can choose your restaurant from the location of the bungalows.  There appear to be about five restaurants.  All serve beer and alcohol.

Some of the huts are on land but many are on the water with the little "bridge" to walk out on to get to the raft.   There is a mat on the ground and a short table for the food and drink.

The group below were pretty typical.  The father is reading the paper and the mother is conversing with the rest of the family.  The dog is being a dog.  But this is a family that includes a dog which obviously lives in the house.  I think that is his water bottle in the basket.   He is harrier than many of the dogs here and probably is groomed.  He looked friendly but bored... my projection.




The restaurants hustled the food.  They were going so fast, I did not get an acceptable picture of some of the items.  The kitchen had a mosquito net on it.  The young boy went and picked up what looked like live minnows and put them in small jars and took them to a table.. who knows if they were for fishing of eating.
I saw a lot of dished get served.  some shrimp, chicken, beef, papaya salad, etc. and of course rice.



Again, the shadows on the water were wonderful. 

 Same same but different from the shadows of the clouds that I took at the dam the day before
