This was one of the highlights of my 2nd stay in Thailand.  THE best meal I've eaten in all of Asia!  I just hope I can replicate it when I'm back home!

Ship wreck(post)

Funny, from the photo, you can't tell that this was actually a shipwreck.  (Like my life in corporate America???)

Back to India for one last 10 day mediatation course...

Dhamma Hall

Cottages at Dhamma Nagajjuna

Cottages 2

I know we're supposed to be objective, but Nagajjuna is thus far my favorite meditation center.  The rooms are simple but lovely.  The Dhamma Hall is small but charming.  And the food is AWESOME!
