Having lots of fun and enjoying the sights. Thailand has about 30,000 temples! We went to the most famous one today it’s call Wat Arun, (temple of the dawn) look it up. It’s beautiful and peaceful. I kind of got in trouble at the temple because I was wearing a sleeveless shirt and you are not allowed to wear that there. I knew this of course but the tour guide did not tell us we were going to the temple so I was not dressed correctly. Thankfully they had a shawl there for me to coverup with. Sorry Buddha!

I’ve also gone to five different temples and the Grand Palace of Bangkok. Let me tell you, you seen one temple… you seen them all. Buddha’s everywhere, sitting Buddhas, standing Buddha, laying down Buddha, gold Buddha, not so gold Buddha. I say this, but they are all VERY BEAUTIFUL. Just takes your breath away. That is why I have so many pictures of SOOOO MANY TEMPLES! I love it.

I got a Thai massage, which is a mixture of massage and wrestling. The lady was stepping on me, put me in the full nelson, a boston crab, those are the only two wrestling moves I know but the massage was rough. It felt good, but it is ceratinly not for the non flexiable.

Yesterday we had a dinner with a show. Of course I overslept in my room and the whole bus was waiting for me. I made it down there eventually. I’m the youngest person on the tour, but the most sleepy. Go figure! Old people know sleep is death’s cousin, so they don’t sleep. (ok that was really mean but hella funny).

Oh today when I was walking the street in my tights,sneakers and USC t-shirt I walked pass a man and he said something in Thai. I asked the tour guide what he said. She said he say” you look sporty”. Hahaha. Good one.

I’m probably going to go to bed soon (it’s 9:30 am) We have to be out of the hotel at 8 am! The tour lady is really nice and is putting up with a lot of crazy old people. Bless her heart. She is also trying to kill me with these early wake up times.

Sorry if there are a lot of typos in this but the keyboard I’m using is from 1986 and some of the english letters have been replaced with Thai ones. Too funny. Smooches!

SA WAT DEE KAH.

Today I leave for a nine-day tour to Bangkok, Thailand. Wow! That doesn’t
even sound real!

I decided to take this trip by myself for a little self discovery and to ease the thoughts that cloud my brain every day. So this is like spring cleaning for my mind.

I will be with a Thai tour group that will show me the treasures of Thailand. I’ll try to share my experiences as much as possible through this blog. But with limited Internet access and the fact that I don’t want to be on the computer all the time, my posts will be slow. Don’t worry, there will be lots of pictures!

Here is a list of things I want to see / do:
ride an elephant
See the floating markets
Get a thai massage
Travel to Phuket
Eat some bomb Thai food!
Meditate
See temples

Stay tuned for more tastes of Thailand!
