A big sailing ship on Wednesday

 

On this warm and sunny Wednesday, a large white sailing ship docked at the port of Civitavecchia. It gives a different image of the port, as it seems the picture was taken one century ago. But it isn't the case. I took it this morning.


Meanwhile it isn't raining, and we're worried as we can see dried grass in our environs and countryside without rain for a long time. 

Enjoy the rest of this sunny week!

Restaurant on the bank of the major river in Thailand

Since 2020 a restaurant on the bank of the Chao Phraya river near Bangkok, Thailand, have had big problems because of Covid-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, more problems have come when water in the river started to rise in 2021.

The owner of the restaurant wanted to close, but he decided to wait. So the restaurant stayed open, and customers enjoyed dining while the river washed their feet. People shared funny videos on social media, which probably saved the restaurant. More people wanted to visit the place and enjoy its special atmosphere.

It seemed that the floods would destroy the business, but they made it grow again.  

The food in the pictures above above is not typical of Thailand. A friend of mine made the two pictures at a restaurant in China, Jiangsu province. He went there for job four years ago.
