He has such a connection with animals. It was a beautiful park with many types of birds wandering around.

We met friends from ISB for lunch and then had plans to bike through the lush green rice fields (I had imagined it would be like the Indonesian version of "The Sound of Music"!) However, it started raining buckets all afternoon so we went to plan B which was shopping for art. Luckily we had a very patient driver who made many U-turns whenever we spotted some interesting hole-in-the-wall gallery. We ended up buying two beautiful paintings that will help us remember our day in Ubud. We know we will travel to Bali again and the rice fields will await us.</div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/383065613582915530-4335783161240957725?l=africansbacon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Africansbacon/Thai Baconnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383065613582915530.post-34376462362991787382011-04-25T06:23:00.000-07:002011-04-25T06:38:55.037-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JYBOfm3A-jM/TbV4akV64bI/AAAAAAAAD10/TnbTOenNqlc/s1600/DSC05803.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px;

Not on an airplane crossing the dateline thus missing his birthday altogether, not at work, and not in some foreign country. But at home with family. As usual, Linda pulled out all the stops. Great food, angel food cake, drinks, music, and hockey (let's try to forget the final score). We partied until the dog and children finally called it a night. Back to reality the next day as we headed back to BKK.<br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/383065613582915530-8789853900273437678?l=africansbacon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Africansbacon/Thai Baconnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383065613582915530.post-47150594871471277592011-03-10T02:25:00.000-08:002011-03-10T02:42:46.188-08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ERbpU87rTbo/TXippTibFpI/AAAAAAAADwU/CupRewUzLgA/s1600/DSC05508.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582398265210115730" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ERbpU87rTbo/TXippTibFpI/AAAAAAAADwU/CupRewUzLgA/s320/DSC05508.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m-pJT9XM8Jk/TXipXR-e5II/AAAAAAAADwM/9UzyXhGXHZI/s1600/DSC05507.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582397955553289346" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m-pJT9XM8Jk/TXipXR-e5II/AAAAAAAADwM/9UzyXhGXHZI/s320/DSC05507.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AhSV7gUJ7qg/TXio_gQFA0I/AAAAAAAADwE/E5OA0z8OnyI/s1600/DSC05506.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582397547068326722" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AhSV7gUJ7qg/TXio_gQFA0I/AAAAAAAADwE/E5OA0z8OnyI/s320/DSC05506.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K2NmKW7mkX8/TXiob4yDVLI/AAAAAAAADv8/VjZRFPVn6Wk/s1600/DSC05504.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582396935177983154" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K2NmKW7mkX8/TXiob4yDVLI/AAAAAAAADv8/VjZRFPVn6Wk/s320/DSC05504.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k0tdFOBFoII/TXin_AtqpxI/AAAAAAAADv0/PFtVkSLLsAg/s1600/DSC05500.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582396439090865938" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k0tdFOBFoII/TXin_AtqpxI/AAAAAAAADv0/PFtVkSLLsAg/s320/DSC05500.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g1ia-OnZh94/TXinfxeOZJI/AAAAAAAADvs/bVcTIL2J9ag/s1600/DSC05492.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582395902423622802" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g1ia-OnZh94/TXinfxeOZJI/AAAAAAAADvs/bVcTIL2J9ag/s320/DSC05492.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>We headed back to Calgary for the last few days of our winter break.

The tree was carefully chosen and decorated. Jack and Adam prepared cookies, milk and letters for Santa and his reindeer. Snow surrounded the cabin for Santa's sleigh and then right on time he delivered the presents before the boys woke. Adam was stirring all night long waiting to get up. They were so excited to open presents, and so grateful for what they got. They stayed in the jammies all day long playing with their new treasures. Carole cooked a turkey to top of a wonderful day!</div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/383065613582915530-883217429582969829?l=africansbacon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Africansbacon/Thai Baconnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383065613582915530.post-29500567197227865842010-12-26T04:43:00.000-08:002010-12-26T04:48:16.231-08:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRc5d2axVgI/AAAAAAAADos/2cjU522nUOw/s1600/DSC05278.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554971850371585538" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRc5d2axVgI/AAAAAAAADos/2cjU522nUOw/s320/DSC05278.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRc5dmCi4FI/AAAAAAAADok/3WEmM__gu0Y/s1600/DSC05281.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554971845975007314" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRc5dmCi4FI/AAAAAAAADok/3WEmM__gu0Y/s320/DSC05281.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRc5daZjijI/AAAAAAAADoc/QVQHH_qWzm0/s1600/DSC05280.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554971842850294322" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRc5daZjijI/AAAAAAAADoc/QVQHH_qWzm0/s320/DSC05280.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRc5c-zHFbI/AAAAAAAADoU/N87jIOpcJWQ/s1600/DSC05265.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554971835441288626" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRc5c-zHFbI/AAAAAAAADoU/N87jIOpcJWQ/s320/DSC05265.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRc5cusvcQI/AAAAAAAADoM/bVbtZCKFIKo/s1600/DSC05257.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554971831119606018" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRc5cusvcQI/AAAAAAAADoM/bVbtZCKFIKo/s320/DSC05257.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/383065613582915530-2950056719722786584?l=africansbacon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Africansbacon/Thai Baconnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383065613582915530.post-63777856255862270012010-12-26T04:08:00.000-08:002010-12-26T04:39:40.644-08:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRcxy_cTvvI/AAAAAAAADnc/QeEI5m8xJn4/s1600/DSC05185.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554963417478184690" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRcxy_cTvvI/AAAAAAAADnc/QeEI5m8xJn4/s320/DSC05185.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRcxykSQOAI/AAAAAAAADnU/cSBYr5hf2f0/s1600/DSC05179.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554963410188253186" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRcxykSQOAI/AAAAAAAADnU/cSBYr5hf2f0/s320/DSC05179.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRcxyaIyvRI/AAAAAAAADnM/2H2ZMVwNOI4/s1600/DSC05175.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554963407464217874" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRcxyaIyvRI/AAAAAAAADnM/2H2ZMVwNOI4/s320/DSC05175.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRcxyPknrhI/AAAAAAAADnE/2qWPBW_TTkA/s1600/DSC05154.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554963404628143634" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRcxyPknrhI/AAAAAAAADnE/2qWPBW_TTkA/s320/DSC05154.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRcxxxrhh_I/AAAAAAAADm8/MS5Wc249CSY/s1600/DSC05142.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554963396604037106" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRcxxxrhh_I/AAAAAAAADm8/MS5Wc249CSY/s320/DSC05142.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>We had a great time in Calgary and stayed at a hotel near to Rich and Leo.

Our day was almost off to a bad start when we couldn't get the truck back open as the lock was frozen shut. We ended up dumping hot coffee on it and finally got our skis out. The day was cold, but with two breaks inside we managed to get in a full day of skiing. Jack remembered everything from three years ago and was a natural all day, always looking near the trees for his next jump. Adam was his typical self at the beginning, sore feet on the bunny hill, then cried his first run down a "blue lift" saying his legs hurt, he didn't like it and that he needed a rest. After a warm up and a sandwich he was ready to go again. This time, it all came back and he was his old self again. At the end of the day, he was asking who we all thought was the best skier in the family. Funny little guy!When the sun came out, the day was great! We all came home with rosy cheeks, ready to barbeque steaks. Life is good in Canada!</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

We arrived safely to Canada for our Christmas vacation. Spent 3 days in Calgary with Leo, Richard, Danielle and families. Had a nice family fondue night at Rich and Kris' place. We got our shopping done and found time for some outdoor activities including tobogganing and skating on the lake even though it was -12C. A little cold for our Bangkok blood! Jack was a natural back on ice even after three year of not skating. Ad<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIqAHDP3GI/AAAAAAAADkA/K3GniwcGurI/s1600/DSC05181.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553547471882280034" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIqAHDP3GI/AAAAAAAADkA/K3GniwcGurI/s320/DSC05181.JPG" /></a>am struggled a bit at the beginning but loved every minute of being on the ice. Carole's parent came up to meet us in Calgary. We are now at the cabin in Invermere where they will have Christmas with us. Rich, Kris, Amy, Bradley and Danielle will come up after Boxing Day to stay and ski with us. And we are looking forward to spending some time in the mountains, including New Year's Eve at the Black Forest, with Leo, Linda, Lauren, and Elayna. The boys are taking their first snowboarding lesson this afternoon in Fairmont. We hope to ski at Panorama tomorrow. Picked out a nice tree from a local lot and will decorate it today too. We are very happy to be home for the holidays!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIpy2M2uWI/AAAAAAAADj4/lMkPnVIwuAA/s1600/DSC05157.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553547244020873570" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIpy2M2uWI/AAAAAAAADj4/lMkPnVIwuAA/s320/DSC05157.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIpkOOy45I/AAAAAAAADjw/db5didBi2Fg/s1600/DSC05165.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553546992773424018" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIpkOOy45I/AAAAAAAADjw/db5didBi2Fg/s320/DSC05165.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIpUw6PL-I/AAAAAAAADjo/GcqTpXECAGg/s1600/DSC05182.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553546727204532194" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIpUw6PL-I/AAAAAAAADjo/GcqTpXECAGg/s320/DSC05182.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/383065613582915530-4147158405428002148?l=africansbacon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Africansbacon/Thai Baconnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383065613582915530.post-40710126654131051342010-12-22T08:04:00.000-08:002010-12-22T08:12:07.385-08:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIiQ_v8WJI/AAAAAAAADjg/0mEEiIgJNO0/s1600/DSC05139.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553538965887015058" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIiQ_v8WJI/AAAAAAAADjg/0mEEiIgJNO0/s320/DSC05139.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIiFAS__AI/AAAAAAAADjY/qBvxUgFWq5k/s1600/DSC05138.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553538759875623938" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIiFAS__AI/AAAAAAAADjY/qBvxUgFWq5k/s320/DSC05138.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIh1eeSWmI/AAAAAAAADjQ/oZsnipk8fF0/s1600/DSC05135.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553538493098121826" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIh1eeSWmI/AAAAAAAADjQ/oZsnipk8fF0/s320/DSC05135.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Although it's a long haul home, we decided early in August, that we'd like to have a white Christmas this year.

An hour more to Calgary. Rich and Bradley were there to pick us up.

We had a small celebration with some of his friends. Steve and Dave took the boys biking around the lake. They stopped for smoothies at Twist. Then they came back to our place for our traditional reindeer cookie making and some Lego Rock Band. Jack planned the meal which included chips, pop, pizza, and Dairy Queen cake. It was a great party! Happy Birthday Jack!</div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/383065613582915530-873511389620996470?l=africansbacon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Africansbacon/Thai Baconnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383065613582915530.post-73315800207467561572010-12-22T07:28:00.000-08:002010-12-22T07:35:47.475-08:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIaA9dq38I/AAAAAAAADiY/5ZNqhU68ilc/s1600/DSC05061.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553529894302572482" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIaA9dq38I/AAAAAAAADiY/5ZNqhU68ilc/s320/DSC05061.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIZzfjk-eI/AAAAAAAADiQ/bcsIDFQU_mg/s1600/DSC05058.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553529662935988706" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIZzfjk-eI/AAAAAAAADiQ/bcsIDFQU_mg/s320/DSC05058.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIZhQnfxhI/AAAAAAAADiI/wY8dOSfEolM/s1600/DSC05057.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553529349688247826" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIZhQnfxhI/AAAAAAAADiI/wY8dOSfEolM/s320/DSC05057.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIZUisgD6I/AAAAAAAADiA/10d4Or-OhUk/s1600/DSC05056.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553529131202776994" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIZUisgD6I/AAAAAAAADiA/10d4Or-OhUk/s320/DSC05056.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIZUUENUCI/AAAAAAAADh4/_LJSNLT0oe8/s1600/DSC05055.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553529127275679778" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIZUUENUCI/AAAAAAAADh4/_LJSNLT0oe8/s320/DSC05055.JPG" /></a> Back to the cute signs, modern buildings, and conveniences.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/383065613582915530-7331580020746756157?l=africansbacon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Africansbacon/Thai Baconnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383065613582915530.post-21428061121926499882010-12-22T07:08:00.000-08:002010-12-22T07:27:16.165-08:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIXaaxa2kI/AAAAAAAADhw/fYk1eQr7NgA/s1600/DSC05049.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553527033131883074" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIXaaxa2kI/AAAAAAAADhw/fYk1eQr7NgA/s320/DSC05049.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIXOr71DOI/AAAAAAAADho/-qOj3EwC9k8/s1600/DSC05040.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553526831580515554" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIXOr71DOI/AAAAAAAADho/-qOj3EwC9k8/s320/DSC05040.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIXCaY_G2I/AAAAAAAADhg/UOj-ghiYs9k/s1600/DSC05039.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553526620712541026" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIXCaY_G2I/AAAAAAAADhg/UOj-ghiYs9k/s320/DSC05039.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIWwX0DtDI/AAAAAAAADhY/rKDjQZFQOh0/s1600/DSC05037.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553526310783136818" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIWwX0DtDI/AAAAAAAADhY/rKDjQZFQOh0/s320/DSC05037.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIWhWPgVII/AAAAAAAADhQ/ys2eeDzLuqY/s1600/DSC05034.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553526052663350402" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TRIWhWPgVII/AAAAAAAADhQ/ys2eeDzLuqY/s320/DSC05034.JPG" /></a> It was the Thai king's birthday a few weeks ago so we had a long weekend. We stayed downtown in Bangkok at the Centara Grande Hotel. Had fun exploring the area, bowling, shopping at the MBK market, riding in tuk tuks, getting foot massages, visiting the aquarium, and going to the Hard Rock Cafe. We also found our favourite seafood restaurant that we have been to a few times over the years. It is still tacky inside but such a neat experience. You shop for all your food as if you were in a supermarket then pay for it at the till. Then at your table they take your order how you want your fish and veggies to be cooked. It was awesome. We ordered wine but because it was the king's birthday, there technically couldn't be alcohol served. So the customers had to drink their libations out of teacups! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/383065613582915530-2142806112192649988?l=africansbacon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Africansbacon/Thai Baconnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383065613582915530.post-77145924820426732812010-11-25T05:10:00.000-08:002010-11-25T05:24:37.651-08:00<object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-dc8a777de18b6d66" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v1.nonxt4.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Ddc8a777de18b6d66%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331200244%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D1A6F11EDF9AC1CE2A130ED09AF9FB66F4F47D7AB.63D80C3B4DD353E77307F7AAB5BDBDC77D9A05AC%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Ddc8a777de18b6d66%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DqIDD4c5IteCvvM-yY7XN4Oe_biA&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v1.nonxt4.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Ddc8a777de18b6d66%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331200244%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D1A6F11EDF9AC1CE2A130ED09AF9FB66F4F47D7AB.63D80C3B4DD353E77307F7AAB5BDBDC77D9A05AC%26key%3Dck1&iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Ddc8a777de18b6d66%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DqIDD4c5IteCvvM-yY7XN4Oe_biA&autoplay=0&ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/383065613582915530-7714592482042673281?l=africansbacon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Africansbacon/Thai Baconnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383065613582915530.post-19137119401526667542010-11-08T03:47:00.000-08:002010-11-08T04:04:11.836-08:00<object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-f15ddde2a3330b26" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v8.nonxt8.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Df15ddde2a3330b26%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331200244%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D691CE55BB1D45048397FA676BB7D8DDF42E56BC7.3206232FA4BC8738EE13823C5C75ACB25CF9493C%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Df15ddde2a3330b26%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D2ZKWMsxM_v86B6NI2NMABHal4Hk&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v8.nonxt8.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Df15ddde2a3330b26%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331200244%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D691CE55BB1D45048397FA676BB7D8DDF42E56BC7.3206232FA4BC8738EE13823C5C75ACB25CF9493C%26key%3Dck1&iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Df15ddde2a3330b26%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D2ZKWMsxM_v86B6NI2NMABHal4Hk&autoplay=0&ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/383065613582915530-1913711940152666754?l=africansbacon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Africansbacon/Thai Baconnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383065613582915530.post-77132695458501526002010-10-30T03:29:00.000-07:002010-10-30T03:35:22.687-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TMv0sZ2zsVI/AAAAAAAADhA/R5j7aj6D2Qk/s1600/DSC04636.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

We are finally getting some high temps (35C) this week so the lake is slowly warming up. Jack is still a fish and enjoys spending most of his time jumping off the dock. Adam finally decided to take a dip after much coaxing! Their cousins have braved the water all week. The hot tub is also getting much use so they can warm up after a chilly plunge.<br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/383065613582915530-646587250918523264?l=africansbacon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Africansbacon/Thai Baconnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383065613582915530.post-38585007053927555052010-07-12T09:47:00.000-07:002010-07-12T10:02:29.288-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TDtJKoaXodI/AAAAAAAADLE/rB1u9P6FLA0/s1600/DSC03901.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493064617503990226" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TDtJKoaXodI/AAAAAAAADLE/rB1u9P6FLA0/s320/DSC03901.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TDtIm1OwoSI/AAAAAAAADK8/dlEiuwUL6Po/s1600/DSC03927.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493064002469667106" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TDtIm1OwoSI/AAAAAAAADK8/dlEiuwUL6Po/s320/DSC03927.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TDtIRWt7FdI/AAAAAAAADK0/C7Km0M1lEaQ/s1600/DSC03910.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493063633501623762" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TDtIRWt7FdI/AAAAAAAADK0/C7Km0M1lEaQ/s320/DSC03910.JPG" /></a> </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div> </div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TDtH886BJYI/AAAAAAAADKk/zAMCVHIVkVk/s1600/DSC03873.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493063282975647106" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/TDtH886BJYI/AAAAAAAADKk/zAMCVHIVkVk/s320/DSC03873.JPG" /></a><br />Finally it feels like summer!

The picture of Africa was done by our friend Crystal Thomas (an aspiring artist to look our for!). She made it out of Gazelle beer labels! This photo doesn't do it justice as it's just so cool in real life. Bought a camel table from <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Mauritanian</span>. It is used upside down on camels as a crate to carry things. Also got a wooden window shutter from Mali. (These aren't pictured. Must visit us in Thailand to see them!) The beaded statues are fertitlity dolls. I got one from my friend Lisa. We call it the perimenopausal infertility doll!

Heather was our Sherpa as she led us down many winding roads to the secret lair. Armed with hand sanitizer, napkins, and Tupperware (for leftovers) we entered and were led to a backroom table. While we waited for our food a game of "What crazy thing can I do with my chopsticks" ensued. All said and done the food was fabulous! Of course the company was too.

I hope Jack and Adam remember this time in their lives and the adventures that we have had as a family over the last two years. The ocean was calm and clear and the beach was quite nice. Quiet in the daytime but then it got busy with Senegalese locals doing their exercise routines or playing soccer. We spent our evenings exploring the tidepools and collecting shells. Not too many big waves for boogie boarding but the boys did give it a try.</div><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/383065613582915530-1185978247613068918?l=africansbacon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Africansbacon/Thai Baconnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383065613582915530.post-2777542738952865692010-04-04T06:52:00.000-07:002010-04-04T14:24:44.821-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S7kDcu-xixI/AAAAAAAAC_8/j9zK9U50Lsc/s1600/DSC02938.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456396215718611730" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S7kDcu-xixI/AAAAAAAAC_8/j9zK9U50Lsc/s320/DSC02938.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S7icgnnGY0I/AAAAAAAAC-0/DGs6nQ5OIU4/s1600/DSC02944.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456283032762082114" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S7icgnnGY0I/AAAAAAAAC-0/DGs6nQ5OIU4/s320/DSC02944.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S7icfx4uzhI/AAAAAAAAC-s/imdWaJrkzBE/s1600/DSC02953.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456283018340519442" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S7icfx4uzhI/AAAAAAAAC-s/imdWaJrkzBE/s320/DSC02953.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S7icfZa8EMI/AAAAAAAAC-k/3ehpfMpZRac/s1600/DSC02999.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456283011773108418" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S7icfZa8EMI/AAAAAAAAC-k/3ehpfMpZRac/s320/DSC02999.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S7ia01rRDlI/AAAAAAAAC-c/BpfclO_esu4/s1600/DSC02950.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456281181111782994" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S7ia01rRDlI/AAAAAAAAC-c/BpfclO_esu4/s320/DSC02950.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S7ia0X5ws7I/AAAAAAAAC-U/_u7JrhYsAE4/s1600/DSC02937.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456281173119513522" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S7ia0X5ws7I/AAAAAAAAC-U/_u7JrhYsAE4/s320/DSC02937.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>For spring break we headed out of town to a place called Saly. It was less than a two hour drive from Dakar. We rented a place on the beach with another family from school. We took enough supplies to keep us fed and entertained so that we wouldn't have to leave the compound the entire time. Mission accomplished. Other than a couple of baguette and drink runs we were able to be self sufficient and rather sloth like for the entire week. Our itinerary included naps, reading, swim races, suntanning, shell collecting, happy hours, and long walks (and the occasional run) on the beach. It was wonderful!</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/383065613582915530-277754273895286569?l=africansbacon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Africansbacon/Thai Baconnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383065613582915530.post-74454574043463771262010-03-21T22:35:00.000-07:002010-03-21T23:23:33.172-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S6cLGmpyy1I/AAAAAAAAC-M/YREBPTmaKO0/s1600-h/DSC02892.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451338082038238034" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S6cLGmpyy1I/AAAAAAAAC-M/YREBPTmaKO0/s320/DSC02892.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S6cLGIS6wBI/AAAAAAAAC-E/N-AYm0vV4xw/s1600-h/DSC02893.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451338073889226770" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S6cLGIS6wBI/AAAAAAAAC-E/N-AYm0vV4xw/s320/DSC02893.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S6cLFtseEkI/AAAAAAAAC98/pyBHmMuPzHc/s1600-h/DSC02883.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451338066748641858" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S6cLFtseEkI/AAAAAAAAC98/pyBHmMuPzHc/s320/DSC02883.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S6cLFKjqEPI/AAAAAAAAC90/VgkWO6N4TPU/s1600-h/DSC02887.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451338057316438258" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S6cLFKjqEPI/AAAAAAAAC90/VgkWO6N4TPU/s320/DSC02887.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S6cI7N0YGnI/AAAAAAAAC9s/TRMi2LdnTzM/s1600-h/DSC02882.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451335687369923186" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOxMaU9L3Rw/S6cI7N0YGnI/AAAAAAAAC9s/TRMi2LdnTzM/s320/DSC02882.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Saturday, March 20th- six of us completed what we set out to do-run 13.1 miles.
