Delicious evening

Just returned from dinner by the edge of the sea, sitting at a bamboo table in the sand. The wind is down to a most delicate breeze, the waves have quieted down to soft gentle hints of sound, and the air is balmy and clear. We walked barefooted along the shore to a favorite restaurant from previous years. Few diners. We almost missed it. Where is everybody? This place used to hum with loud buddha bar sounds and tons of people. Now about a half dozen of us beneath the stars. But so nice to sit and look out across the channel to koh Phangon and the thin line of lights along it's shoreline. We ate a rich panang chicken curry with keifer lime leaf, squid cooked in garlic and basil and morning glory in oyster sauce. So delicious. In three days the moon will be full. The famous full moon party will be in full swing across the channel at koh Phangon which means lots of speed boat taking tourist across the water all nite. Sometimes there can be as many as 30 thousand people partying there. For now, the quiet nite is sacred. The peace a gift.
