Happy Friday Everyone. This song goes out to all those of you out there that have found your life long best friend, a big cheer to love!
Lucky by Jason Mraz featuring Colbie Caillat
Do you hear me,
I’m talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky oh my, baby I’m trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Oooohhhhoohhhhohhooohhooohhooohoooh
They don’t know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I’ll wait for you I promise you, I will

On the other side of the garden wall is the Oranje Nassau Pavilion. I have never been inside this particular building and found out this year there is internet access for visitors to Keukenhof. Who wants to be surfing when you are surrounded by thousands and thousands of tulips!

After a short break at the water fountain, it was time to check out the garden area. This is usually the place that I often didn’t pay attention to since it was never much of anything to look at in April. But in May the spot is full of interesting plants and flowers. It was like finding a treasure when I noticed beautiful blooms that reminded me so much of Dok Koon. It was no other than the purple laburnum and what a beautiful sight to see.

Beyond the lake area was walking path with plenty of tulips and other flowers to keep me busy. It was late in the afternoon and tea time for me but the restaurants were so busy that I went for a bottle of water and then headed off in the direction of a garden area near Oranje Nassau Pavilion.

After having taken enough photos of tulips and other flowers near the Keukenhof entrance area, it was time to followed the path of 2000 with a walk toward the lake. What I found to be interesting in this area is the walking path over the water. Kids and adults all like to take turn walking toward the other side and taking photos along the way.

On May 21, 2009 I made a visit to Keukenhof (Kitchen Garden) to see what’s left of the tulips. It was the last day and there were so many people there to enjoy the nice weather and the various flowers on display at the garden. I have to admit the garden was not as spectacular as the last visit in April of 2007. The best time to visit Keukenhof is around mid April to late April to see the tulips in full bloom.

We were getting streams of visitors in the late afternoon at the house wanting news update on Grand-Mama’s funeral. It is a common courtesy to feed your guests in Laos and if nothing else there should be drinks and fruits or candies provided. I went next door to buy some ping kai and Khek went to buy some Beer Lao for our guests.

She was the pillar of her community, the oldest living grandmother of the village and the woman that made the local temple what it is today. She is with Grand-Papa now according to all the relatives that had dream of the two of them showing up at their houses for a visit.

We had a nice lunch and ate what Khek and I bought from Gok Pho Market. After lunch we talked about what was taking place in Pakse. When it started to rain Aunt Phone called Pakse to make sure the funeral was not being hampered by the rain.

I took as much photos as I could along the Mekong River as we made our way to Gok Pho market. Khek and I ordered some tum maak houng and went inside the market to buy some khao phoon to go with the tum. We then headed home and walked through Akat Elementary School. I said hi to the kindergarten teacher and told her I would make a visit to the school next month.
