Lovely, lovely Saturday…

What a great day. I saw a lot, and it charmed the pants right off of me!!

Georgetown looked into my heart and gave me everything I wanted in a tourist town. Good walking around,  great food, cloud cover, neat art, lots of people enjoying themselves, not too much traffic, lots of coffee shops. Amazing!

My only plan was to walk my feet off. Mission accomplished! Also, I saw lots of temples, cultural stuff, and interesting neighborhoods.

I only took 200 pictures because my phone died. Lol otherwise it would have been a lot more.

The highlight of my day was the Thai Reclining Buddha temple, formally called Wat Chayamangkalaram. So amazing. No tour groups to avoid, just people worshipping. It’s hard to convey the atmosphere there. Peaceful but not somber, calm and lively at the same time. The temple building itself is airy and well lit. Some canned music was playing; it sounded like a story was being told. Everything was clean and sparkly. Literally, cut glass tiles are all over that temple. 

Anyway I’m looking forward to Thailand even more now.

So, directly across the street….another temple! What a surprise, right?

The Dharmikarama Burmese temple is not as spectacular as its neighbor, but how could it be? That didn’t stop me from taking too many pitures of it.

The rest of the day I really tried not to have an agenda. It worked out well, I think. My feet hurt, so that’s good.

My brain is spinning from everything I saw today. I’ll see you all tomorrow
