Friday in Bangkok

first.. thank you for the comments and postings. I am in an air conditioned cafe... yes.. it is not that I have nothing to do or want to do.. or that I love all of you so very much...but it is HOT out there... and my brain started to bubble. so.. taking a break and will post some now and then later. Trip folks.. if you get a chance.. read Sheila's post.. I am on the floor laughing.. I was having Sheila withdrawal... but when I read her note.. it reminds me of our adventures. I looked around yesterday quickly to see if I could locate Sue or Sheila... thought it was my day to watch.
Anyway.. I left here last night and went back and had a beer and some nuts and read the Brit post... scandal sheet. Again.. I went to the room tired and fell asleep.. then boom wide awake when the noise stopped. I will get up very early tomorrow and take a day mini excursion to the old capital... and hopefully catch up to Beth/Martin tomorrow night.. pack up my gear and head to the train station and south. It will be good to get out of the city and just chill.
What I found out about today.. the tuk tuk's or the government tt are only 20 bt an hour.. so I circled paces and we raced about to see the lucky Buddha, standing Buddha, marble Buddha, black Buddha.. etc. If anyone reads this that has Janet's phone number.. tell her I got a bowl.. I watched the family work on the bowls... took pictures and it was 500 bt. take him 2 days a bowl. (you can tell Janet it was 1000 bt). I walked some more.. and ate fresh pineapple.. had a beer and lunch.. and now here. The sun is very hot.. makes you want to just sleep on a bench. I am off to the river to take a river taxi to someplace... and maybe back to the gem place later. bye for now...b

Eleventh Day

 Wow, it is easy to slip into a similar pattern to what I had at home. I produced a plan to change many things - delete more emails, eat hea...
