The Tropics

We really love living in the tropics. The mangos, the 'every day is a beach day' weather, the fabulous rainstorms, just about all of it. Ok, well, maybe some days I wish I didn't sweat as much. Sometimes, when we live somewhere, we forget that what is right in front of us will be the things that will be memories later on. This picture I took the other day of Sojo walking to the playground reminded me that there are these banana plants right outside our apartment. We love to watch them grow and make the plant bend with the weight, and then notice how they seem to disappear right before they turn yellow. A treat for someone... A treat for me and Dale was to have a personal day downtown doing some errands. Breakfast at a lovely cafe and some wandering of the Bangkok streets. Always something interesting to see there (picture is of a Buddhist spirit house, but I'm loving the Jim Beam juxtaposition).
T minus one week until my parents arrive in Bangkok! Yippee! Dad, check out the lemon curd in the breakfast photo. It is to die for! We'll go there for breakie when you guys get here. xoxo
