A good place to eat?

We've been in Webster, NY for over two weeks now. I've been trying to find a good place to eat although I can cook at the hotel. (We're staying in a studio equipped with a small kitchen. The room is actually bigger than Chris' apartment in Hawaii.) I've asked Karen, the hotel cleaning lady, what restaurants are good around here, and she told me "Applebee's". ummmmmmmmm....We didn't go there. Then two days ago, we wanted to have pizza for dinner, so Chris asked the she-male at the office (oh yea, (s)he's pretty scary-looking.) which pizza places are good because there are quite a few around. She told Chis she always got her pizza from Pizza Hut (which we like to call "Pizza Slut" from a t-shirt we saw in Bangkok). ummmmmmmmmmmmmm...we decided to try a local place nearby. It was pretty good like any pizzas are.

We also went to an Italian restaurant by the bay (without anyone's suggestions) last Saturday. The food was good. The portion was HUGE!! We got two big meals out of it.

The Coup

As much as I wanted to see the Thai PM out of his chair, I hate to see military tanks rolling around bangkok and armed soldiers everywhere. It's the sight I didn't expect to see again in my lifetime. I remember seeing something like this once when I was a kid and once again 12 years ago. The last time it happened, it didn't end pretty. Too much blood was shed, and I was old enough to remember it.

I just hope they do what they promise to do. Return power to the people. Thailand's politics will never get better. There will always be corruption, but at least let the people decide.

Before Fall comes....

Fall is in the air. I'm really looking forward to the foliage, but not the cold weather.

Trucking

Chris started hauling all the trailers out to the job site in Webster, NY last week. Driving there hauling stuff takes 7 hours and coming back takes 6 hours. I've been going with him every trip, and we're very familiar with the route now. The job itself will start next Monday, so it means we'll start staying at the 20-year-old Days Inn in Rochester on Sunday night. Not something I really look forward to as I'm sure the hotel is not very nice. Oh well, at least we'll get to be by ourselves.
