Sawasdee Krap from Thailand

In Thailand for a few days of R&R from the rigors of Kabul. We needed a break, so we decided to live it up:

We had (herbal lemongrass) tea in the Author's Wing of the Oriental Hotel where we stayed. Many famous people stayed there: Joseph Conrad, Noel Coward, W. Somerset Maugham, and, now, A. Chester Wilson and his lovely wife Kyoko.


Kyoko and I enjoyed a morning walk on the beach at Hua Hin in southern Thailand, where we stayed at the Marriott Resort and Spa.


More later.
