Yes, we are chugging on and on and on in this colorful land, like the little train that could in the children story - slowly coming up to the end of this Thailand episode, and a break for the holidays. Thanks for being along on our chugging ways, Mike!

Our destination for lunch was the "Le Vallee" artist residence, gallery and restaurant, run by a Thai woman who had lived in France and spoke perfect French. We had time to explore the grounds, view some of her paintings and then enjoyed an interesting lunch basically al fresco: under a covered roof just in case of rain, but with open walls, as it is quite customary here in these tropical locations.

After lunch, we moved on with our iron buffalo trucks to the nearby town of Sop Ruak at the confluence of the Ruak with the Mekong rivers, where we visited an interesting small privately owned museum dedicated to the world of opium.

That’s a nice photo of you and Susan and your smiling, happy faces. Nicely presented food as well. What are the wrapped leaves on the plates?
As ever, there are so many colorful places in your photos. I appreciate all the color! An opium museum? Did they provide samples?!

Thank you Jim for your kind comment, yes it was a happy time in 2013: the world was still open, no fear of going inside due to pandemics, and we enjoyed this rural setting!
