Day 3 - continued into a Special Night!

After a quick lunch in the Nitishi Market we rested up and got out of the heat at our hotel for a few hours. We then went to a fabulous Dinner at little place I had noticed near our hotel that always had a crowd dining there - it was yummy and very well priced! Bosco and I split susumi (sea bream and tuna) and tempura ( the corn, peppers, yams, eggplant and chicken was all amazing!

Then we got an uber and went to the Tanabata Latern Festival, it was magical! We all got our own latern, we wrote our own special intention, attached it to the bottom of the lantern and then at 8:30 pm we all released the to the sky - tethered by our kite strings and then brought them back down after about 15 minutes for proper disposal / reuse. A totally environmental friendly event! And so pretty!

Singapore - Little India

Little India is a neighborhood in Singapore that I wanted to explore becase I love Indian food and their Temple's have such unique gods and Architecture, super colorful and detailed. Below is the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, Singapore's first temple dedicated to Veeramakaliammam or the Kali , a fierce incarnation of Shiva's wife and the "Destroyer of Evil" .

KOH CHANG, THAILAND

By Pat Patrick • July 26, 2026
We just relaxed on the Island of Koh Chang, Thailand. It's one of the largest Thai Islands in the Gulf of Thailand and it has a dense, steep jungle & National Park covering the interior of the Island, which extends off shore, to coral reefs. The coast line is dotted with beaches and villages. This was a tender port, so we decided to stay on the Island for 3 nights, to be able to experience the nightlife. Turns out, it is low season, so nightlife was pretty sleepy. However, we did find a new favorite night time activity! Any Guesses?!?
