This week,much of the same same but different, beaching and eating the Russians food. It`s getting a little embarrassing as I'm cooking but nothing like Victoria. She's got it going on in her kitchen. While I`m doing salads, sandwiches and pasta dishes. She creating meals of prawns, ribs, bortsch,and this wild mushroom and bacon dish, that we devoured last night. They are leaving us tomorrow. Tonight will be our last shared supper. We have toasted (with our left hand) shots of vodka, as those Russians are famous for. We'll miss them, and their son Igor, but will welcome the much needed break from Vodka shots. A couple glasses of red wine is more our pace.
Did a bit of grocery shopping at the BIG C. It's like our Walmart super store, in a big mall about a half hour moped ride away in Phuket town. The mall is typical to ours back home (same same but different). In the entrance they have a kids craft area where the kids can paint little animals, great idea! In the food fair area there is not a burger joint to be found. The food is Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or other Asian. You can by sushi by the piece for 10 Baht (30 cents) each, guess what we had for a snack, yummy.
Every couple of days Steve heads out to Flints bakery (the girlfriends will get a kick out of the name) to pick up fresh bread, one nutty seedy kind and the classic bagette.
The beach has so many sights, some very pleasing to the eye and some very scary ones also (speedos, g-strings, topless....). We have enjoyed watching the para gliders take off from two points on either side of the bay. Some times they land on the beach. These guys sure know what they are doing, such smooth landings!
Well homework is done......the ocean is calling, time for Steve to log some more body surfing time, and me I stay a little closer to shore when the waves are big, someones gotta take the pictures, right?
