So pleased were we, and so limited the other prospects in Old Sukhothai, that we elected to stay at the Legendha for dinner, and the show...
|
Bridge to the restaurant |
|
My Tom Yum Goong, best ever, so far, until I cooked my own in Chiang Mai |
|
Her pork chop |
|
Little did we know we'd be slicing these pretties ourselves in just a few days... |
|
Lost in translation: the Tom Yum was great, but I also ordered something else,
more substantial, which never appeared; an hour later (they were busy with
turbusses, which take priority over everything), they brought me this, minced
pork and basil and blue dye #4 rice, and some broth; Vicki was cool-headed and
face-saving, and the evening was preserved |
|
And the show began...the kid on the boatish marimba was great |
|
And they brought us fruit as a consolation prize for the meal not delivered (and
not charged for) |
|
And the show went on |
|
Women with baskets and men with poles |
|
The symbolism was not lost on some of us |
|
The real drama was in the grass--but not splendor--where a poor chameleon was
nearly trampled but then made his/her way to safety in a bush beneath our table |
|
Tending our baskets |
|
Together |
|
The production values were diminished only slightly by the washing crew, stage right |
|
The turbussers all had left by this point but the rest of us cheered and applauded |
