Walking to Bangabuaw and sharing photographs

We walked over to Bangabuaw to catch the local bus to Phra Predang. Normally we take the motorbike. It was about a mile and a half walk. It was cool because it was cloudy. Riding the bus in is fun because of the open windows and slow pace. We dropped off the film from the community meeting and the CD to be printed and then wandered around town taking photographs. We also picked up our glasses. The glasses are excellent. I do not even notice that they are new, a good sign. I finished a couple rolls of film and so we dropped them at the photo shop also. When we got to the photo shop the prints were done, 86 black and white 4X6 prints. I had four sets made. When I get the community meeting prints done we will make 4 or 5 sets and distribute them also. The quality of work at the photo shop is excellent, better then Sams or Walmart. We ate lunch and then rode the bus back to Bangabuaw and walked home. When we got home we distributed the pictures to people in the community. I hope they like them. A downpour just started with thunder and lightening. Glad we got home before it started. A fun, and hopefully, creative day. Lightening is getting nearer so I will stop blogging.

Well the storm is over, it was pretty intense. The rain was very hard and the lightening was very close. I downloaded a Palm program to check the distance between lightening and thunder, it can even be calibrated by temperture, it said that the lightening was less then a 1/10 of a mile away.

As an aside, today we got a couple Thai computer magazines. From looking at the ads and articles they look like excellent magazines. The one I am looking at know is called CHIP Computers and Communications. I am impressed.

Sunday we will be going to see Richard Barrow at Samut Prakan. I am looking forward to the trip. I hope to get the CD's from the Phra Pradaeng also. It is fun to share photographs with the people in the community.
