dinner and a movie

while on ko phi phi

steven and i found a rooftop restaurant and bar

that had wonderful sunset views

and after dark played movies every night.

it was called the banana bar.

we decided to go the night they played fight club

because we both love that movie.

the first time we waited until dark, sat down for the movie and ordered "buckets"

with thai whiskey.

anyone who has had this before knows,

it is not messing around as far as liquor content goes....

then next evening we showed up just at sunset

to enjoy a nice meal

then stayed to watch men in black three.

(we did NOT order a bucket)

the movie turned out to be a downloaded version from someones 

camcorder in the theater,

but it was still a fantastic date night.

ko phi phi,

you'll always be our favorite part of thailand...

the dj would play music videos before the movie. they were always really fun (a daft punk song here)

thank you

yesterday 

after this post

our family and friends came together in a huge way.

when steven's sister saw what happened to

us on the bus to bangkok

she set up an account for people to

donate so that we could continue our trip.

she did this all without telling us.

while we were asleep in a different time zone.

we woke up the next day and saw something incredible.

our friends and family had replaced the money that was stolen

and left the most encouraging

words of support and love.

we feel completely undeserving 

and totally grateful to 

have these people in our lives.

we cannot say thank you enough

and we'll never forgot the generosity and sympathy

we've been shown.

 it's beyond belief that tomorrow

we will be continuing our trip in

myanmar...

the summer of stunning weddings

last weekend

we attended another wedding 

in the humboldt area.

it's been wonderful to see so many faces that we've missed

all in one place.

and this particular wedding did not disappoint.

the location,

people,

flowers,

food,

and dancing 

all made for a memorable evening.

it helped that the entire inn was

filled with wedding guests.

so we could party and dance the night away 

and simply walk up to our room.

we're going to miss this place

and these people...

PS

a fun game to play before the ceremony
