Hello Lynn!

Imagine that! We leave Hong Kong, jump on the ferry to Macau were we will catch our plane to Bangkok. (Flights on AirAsia are really cheap) We have planned a couple of layover hours for lunch and head over to Senato Square and Le Bonne Huere where we enjoyed a great meal the year before.

We are sitting with our luggage wrapped around us on a quiet bench on a side walkway enjoying the setting and people watching as we await the noon opening of our little hidden restaurant.

HELLO Lynn!

I mean really! Right out of the blue in this tiny little island-peninusula in the middle of Asia. How very small is this world?

Okay, so it is Soji, the Chef at Le Bonne Huere and this is where he works 6 days a week. Not unusual that he should be here. It is definitely a welcome surprise that he remember us by name. We talk throughout our visit. Koji has followed our website and blogs. We hope he will visit us in California and extend an invitation.

We leave our luggage here while we take in some of the tourist sights in the area. Last year this is where the camera broke so we got to get some new photos. My favorite is a sign for a medical clinic with some rather large print: NO FAKES!

Thinking that US companies abroad should provide the same services they do at home, we head into Starbucks for a coffee and some free interent so we can check if our room in Bangkok will be ready a day early or not. I have written to ask, but haven't gotten a reply yet (not their fault, I haven't been able to get on line to check) Alas, no internet at Starbucks Macau.
