Yeah, I got bent, but not in the typical sense where I go drinking with my friends. This time my getting “bent” refers to my purchase of a recumbent tricycle.

We visited the famous Pod Village and took lots of photos for you. Look for a article on this amazing site in the very near future.
Originally began in 1980, the company that started the project ran into financial difficulty. Investors restarted the project in 1989 but subsequently had a disagreement and the project was abandoned in the same year.

We were rapidly approaching our last 2 days in the US. We had seen and done just about everything we wanted to do, so we were determined to take it easy on the last 2 days of our trip and enjoy time with the family.
Growing tired of the food in the US, we wanted to try some of the local Asian cuisine. Having been very dissapointed with what passes off as “Chinese food” we decided to try a place suggested by Adam and his wife. So, we went to called P.F. Chang’s.

On our last day in Thailand, we got up very early in the morning to catch the first flight out of Khonkaen to Bangkok. We had to take a cab from the old airport, which is now the domestic airport, to the new airport – the one with the unpronouncable name.
This is the departure level at Bangkok’s international airport. We were getting ready to check in when we ran across this interesting service:

As you know from reading this series, all of us siblings get together very rarely. So now that we’re all together we want to do things that Dad likes in celebration of being with him, perhaps for the last time. We decided to rent a boat and take him out for the day on Belews Lake.
We rented a pontoon boat, which is perhaps the best design for a family outing. Stable, roomy and yet fast enough to give you a bit a thrill, this kind of boat was just perfect for us.
Nice Friday afternoon hang with Thai food and beer.

Before we continue with our series, I would like to talk about the series and how I’ve written it. First of all, I updated the WordPress In-series plug-in and it blew out all the previous series data. I am unable to re-enter that information and get the updated plug-in to work and actually display series. This means that all those series I wrote in the past are unconnected. The articles are still there, but as in this series, there is no longer a list of them at the bottom so you can find all of them. Sorry but you’ll have to use the search box at the upper right. I didn’t do it! UPDATE: I fixed it by creating a new series and editing the previous articles. I do not want to have to do that for each series I’ve written!
Also, on these series that are not time-sensitive, I’ve been taking my sweet time writing about them. That certainly is the case with this series, which I have written over many months time. Also, in some cases I had to think about what I wanted to write about (even though I do outlines) and I also have other things to do. So that explains why I often write about things that happened some time ago. Honestly, it just doesn’t matter.
Now, onto the current article: We have some interesting things for you, so sit back and enjoy!
This is our father’s reaction to seeing Nancy coming in the front door. He didn’t have his glasses on but he knew who it was right away!

After 2 weeks in Thailand it was time for us to spend our last day there, seeing friends and doing things that we like to do. First order of the day was lunch.
We met our friends for lunch at the First Choice restaurant in Khonkaen. Left to right, is Peter Keeling, who is currently in the process of writing a very important book on the origins of the Thai culture, Nigel and his lovely wife Gigi.
