The Don Bloom Challenge


Eating in Bangkok is an interesting test of faith. Not only are the menus in Thai (that is if there are menus) but much of the time we don’t recognize the food even when it is in front of us. Today we decided to try this gelatinous looking stuff partially wrapped in a leaf offered by a street vendor. As we watched a woman make her purchase she turned to us and said ‘aloy’ which means delicious and she was right.

Our friend Don Bloom encouraged us to create a blog for this trip before we left Maui. He generously offered to help us if we had any problems. When we failed to create a blog, he set one up for us and sent us the web address and password. Now he has challenged us to include videos in our blog and since he can’t do it for us, I guess we have to rise to the challenge. He suggested we keep the video to 5 seconds so it doesn’t take to long to download. Well we flunked that part of the challenge so I hope it’s worth the wait. (Don how do we edit these things….)
