Seeing the sights






Went to the Grand Palace yesterday to take the tour and see the Emerald Buddha. It was interesting, but very crowded with tourists. Jenn was having an interesting hair day. We also saw the biggest Reclining Buddha in the world at Wat Pho. He took up the entire temple from wall to wall and seemed very relaxed. We spent the afternoon wandering around the area visiting various temples and markets. Bangkok does not have all that many sights so we were able to do it in just about half a day. Later, we tried some dragon fruit. Kind of bland. In the evening we tied one on with our new friends from Sweden and Belgium. A very good time. Leaving on Monday for Sukhothai and motorbike to some ruins. Stay tuned.
