Lunch at Valentino is great. The
outdoor seating is pleasant, and
the food is perfect.Up at 6:30, started work at 9:00. Went to lunch with Stan at Valentino at 1:00. I had the ravioli, which was amazing.
After lunch, I took Epril to Carrefour where I bought her some makeup. Makeup isn't expensive if (a) you don't buy everything at once, and (b) you buy cheap stuff that doesn't go on well, stay on well, wash off well, or treat your skin well. We went with Revlon. Actually, the price wasn't all that bad: Only about 1,500 baht ($45) or so.
I was back to work at 3:00, but at 5:30, Epril came into my room crying, which bought my work to a halt obviously. Her father had been in a motorcycle accident on Sunday, and it was only today (Tuesday) that her mother sent a message to Epril to tell her about it. Her father was fine... and Epril was more or less aware of that. She was primarily in tears because she was away from home and not with her family during a crisis (which I'm sure is upsetting the first time you experience it). Anyway, I bought 600 baht worth of phone cards and let Epril chat with her family for as long as she wanted... which was all that she needed in order to weather this particular crisis.
In the evening, Epril and I watched Lord of The Rings, Return of the King on DVD. She hadn't seen the Lord of The Rings yet, so we watched part 1 on Saturday, part 2 on Sunday, and part 3 tonight. Epril loved it.

How could I have missed Valentino's? I stay at Rattathit Mansion (big pink hotel) across from Carrefour and ate at Foodland many times. I was always looking for good Italian. Oh well. I'll be there on the 11th and definitely make it a place to see and dine.
Thanks
