Our 8th Anniversary

I forgot to mention that in the midst of all the other craziness that has been happening in our lives, we also celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary. We actually went out a few days late due to exhaustion from the previous week. Jack took me to a place called Vertigo...yeah, sounds like a U2 song. Vertigo is a really neat restaurant on top of The Banyan Tree Hotel downtown. It is on the roof of a 69 story building and it is open air. So, basically they can only open weather permitting. This is sort of predictable in Thailand so there are huge seasons of time where one could eat there without worrying about rain. We got there about half a hour before sunset. They have a little bar where you can order a drink and look out over the city before dinner. I had a Shirley Temple considering my condition. Then at 6:30 the restaurant begins to serve dinner. We were taken to the best table on the roof since Jack informed them of our anniversary. Jack ordered veal cutlet and I went for a rib eye. We both ordered monstrous ceasar salads...which had we know the size, we would have shared. Needless to say, there wasn't room for dessert. That was a shame but neither of us could manage it. However, our waiter O, brought us an anniversary drink which was green and had dry ice smoke pouring from the bottom..compliments of the chef! We were so dumb and forgot our camera! But Vertigo takes a complimentary picture for the patrons and we have one to share with you.
