Lights Out

The power went out this evening. That happens from time to time, so it's not much of a surprise, like, "We've lost power Captain!" but more of a "Oh, the library's closing in 10 minutes" kind of thing. The generator was on at the hotel soon enough, but we were all just about to go out to dinner. We ended up grabbing a taxi and heading over to Gati Thai, which was absolutely packed despite the fact that the place was candle-lit on account of the power outage. We took the last open table, and ordered up some tom kah soup and green curry fried rice, both with chicken, and fish pad thai, along with a few St. George beers. Great food, as usual there. On the way back, the lights on Bole Road were glowing, so we walked the 10 minutes back and stopped at the grocery store on the way to pick up a few things. It's nice to be back in the center of town.
