First Bangkok Day…

What a day! Our hotel last night….(shudder). Just a few hours of sleep.

Now it’s all better! In a nice place, and looking forward to closing my eyes.

Crystal and I had a good day, despite my  restless night. 

There’s a commuter boat on the Chao Pra Ya, and we went back and forth a little, taking pics and such. Very nice. 

Saw a cathedral. A wedding was just held, so we got to see some beautiful rose arrangements.

Lunch was so gooooooood. I had a splendid green curry that made me lose my voice temporarily. It was that good. Also had these filled pancakes called murtaba, or something. Mmmmmmmm.

After that,  a walk, rest, and recharge. Some laundry for me, and get out for dinner.

I had thai food. It was okay.

After dinner, I popped in to a wat to see the holiday ceremony that was happening. I beleive it is kind of an “all saints day”. Very interesting. Special foods and candles were purchased,  then a worshipful procession around the main prayer hall, with chanting and such. Many attendants were wearing white, I think to honor the dead. Also could have been a kind of Memorial Day thing.

Now I’m really anticipating a good sleep!

Goodnight everyone
