"The Park"

One of the great benefits of staying in the serviced apartment where we are staying is this beautiful park right across the street. It is huge and it is dedicated to King Rama IV (the current King of Thailand.) Here is PJ infront of the monument dedicated to him. We walked around the monument and saw all sorts of interesting things that the King has done or has been interested in. For instance, there was an old tractor, an old toy train with railway, two sailboats that I believe the King made himself (there were also pictures of the King with these different items at different times in his life.) It was really neat to see. This park is absolutely beautiful and in the evenings (and mornings but I never get up early enough) you will see many, many people running, walking, practicing thai chi (or some eastern type exercise) or just enjoying a relaxing evening here at the park. Today PJ and I went and walked around, ate some ice cream and "green juice" (PJ's words!) and then went home and took a nap. Posted by Picasa

It is VERY warm...the heat is what adds to my desire to get this baby out soon! We did have a few days of temps in the upper 70's but that is gone for now!
