Kanchan's house in progress

A couple weeks ago we went down to visit Kanchan's new "project". A small hotel never got finished and Kanchan decided to turn it into his home. For the time being it has no windows and looks more like an abandoned crackhouse than a partly finished hotel, but he's working on it. This is just half of the building and each room has its own parking space underneath.

None of us had been here before and didn't know what to expect. If we had brought better shoes apparently we could have gone hiking up the stream a ways to another pool.
Just the same, the little waterfall next to the building was fantastic! So nice on a hot summer day. We made boats out of leaves and tried floating them down the stream. Every single one instantly plummeted to the bottom.

John had a go at the drums while the rest of us frolicked in the woods and danced in the river to the beats coming from the building. For now the room with all the band equipment is the only one with proper windows and lighting.



And this little critter followed us around everywhere (the cat, not the creature holding him). Kanchan didn't really want him, but got attached after Tango stuck around for while. He's just so friendly how could you not like him!




The building's just off the road and feels so remote. Can't wait to have some nice barbecue's out there! But this time we had to head back once the thunder and lightening started. In a second we were faced with a sudden downpour.
