Courtesy visit.

Two years ago while I was here I lived with Nick, an American from Maine. We stayed in a little house in the compound of an extended family. It's the one I've of which I've posted pictures both before and during the flood. Nick, married a Thai woman and is still living and teaching here.
Yesterday I went to pay my respects to that family. They are the most solidly middle class of any of the people I know here and I wondered how they came through the flood. Their compound shows the effects of the water but they appear to be OK though they had to evacuate. He has a large Honda motorcycle and that was damaged. They have children, their daughter is 16 and their son is 17, and their English is quite good.
