So there, right on North Chaweng Beach Road in Chaweng Beach, Koh Samui, is a smiling, culturally-sensitive Ronald McDonald, welcoming you to the McCafe: "Sawadee!" (Click to enlarge). I could not resist the shrimp burger (real shrimp in a patty on a bun) and the creamed corn pie. Both are available only in Thailand (so we were told), as is the pork burger. The Chaweng area contains a remarkably eclectic mix of restaurants for a small place (the whole island is only 50,000), mostly Thai, but pretty much anything else with a cuisine. We'll be doing the mostly Thai, which we both like, hoping to take a cooking course next week. But we could not resist the beckoning Ronald tonight.
Other than walks on the beach and some local exploration we have not done a great deal in the past three days. As planned. "Que bonita es no hacer nada, y despues de no hacer nada, descansar." It is good to do nothing, and after you have done nothing, to rest.

One of my favorite travel things is to visit a McDonald's in every country. Interesting photo...never saw a Ronald who looks quite like that. Glad you guys are having some R&R...think you needed it after all your adventures.
Hi, Tawana. Thanks for writing. I thought for awhile we were only going to do American restaurants in China--KFC is really, really big, more than all the others put together. But Vicki relented when it came to Peking duck. Hope things are well with you.
Ko Sumai Island is one of my favorite places-a great place to forget about the world-I stayed in the Bang Po at the Coconut Laguna resort for about a week-try eating at the simple little fish places along the main beach road-some wonderful sunsets can be seen there-the massages in the spas all over the island are great and very theraputic-I hope you can chill out a few days there
We are doing well...getting ready to drive to Chicago next week to have Thanksgiving with Cara in her new Condo. Jason & family were here a week ago, and Cara last weekend. We'll all go to Dallas for Christmas...always think of you guys when we are driving to Dallas.
Hope that the rough parts of your travels are over and the rest is pure fun and relaxation. We love the blog.
