Monday, March 16, 2009--Pattaya
Today is our last day in Pattaya, so we will try to get this entry finished before going to bed tonight since we won't be able to post tomorrow for most of the day.
As planned, Joe, Don, and Julian went to HomeWorks to look at sprinkler pumps and outdoor lighting; however, our search was mostly futile and we really didn't end up purchasing anything or really learning anything helpful about the type of pump Julian needs. We did find a really BIG rice cooker and took a funny picture which you can see here:
After HomeWorks, we walked next door to Big C, kind of the equivalent of WalMart. We wandered around, Joe had an ice cream cone, and we bought a couple of little things, but nothing exciting. Then we came back home and Don & Joe walked to the fresh market to get some limes and tea. After that, it was nap time!
Around 4:30p, we headed out to the pool for a quick swim and cool-down before getting cleaned up for dinner. Joe had selected Preecha for his birthday dinner and we all readily agreed. We arrived in time for the sunset and proceeded to pig out! You can see some before and after pictures here:

After the Devouring was finished:
It is now 8 p.m. and we are packing and making final preparations for tomorrow. The driver will pick us up tomorrow at 8 a.m. for the 1.5 hour drive to the airport outside of Bangkok.
We have had great time in Pattaya and Julian and Wit have been great hosts. They have made us feel very much at home and have certainly indulged our food obsessions!
Tomorrow: Travel to Hong Kong (so a delayed post or no post at all).
That would make a whole lotta rice! Sounds like ya'll are still having a ball - and yes i am still jealous! when do you head stateside?
