By the time we got to Thailand there really wasn't time to go anywhere but Bangkok. I was okay with this because we had just spent four days at the beach. It was time to do some serious shopping and a bit of sight seeing in the big city. We were fortunate to stay at two different hotels with swimming pools. I forgot how much of a fish I was, so I was happy to get in as much swimming as I could.
We visited a pottery village and sweets bakery shop a bit out of the city. It was the worst pottery I have ever seen. Every piece was similar wiht the same simple shapes and style of paint strokes. It was a little disappointing for me and I didn't buy anything. I did purchase a bunch of sweets to take back for people in Japan. Even the cookies weren't that delcious. It was unfortuante!
I enjoyed some time by myself inside this temple. It was peaceful just peering up at the good sized Buddha. Even though not in prayer, it was nice to be in the presence of the beautiful icon.
Reclining Buddha! One of my favorite things to see in Asia...giant Buddha's! This one ranks nubmer two to the Buddha in Toadiji temple, Nara Japan.
Lastly, Good-bye Rob and Jon I'm back to Japan Land! The travel home including a bus, overnight plane, two train rides and a car ride took a total of 18 hours. I was exhausted but headed to work anyways!
