Catch up Photos

Haven't been near a fast enough internet connection to upload some misc. photos until now... so here are some odds and ends to ponder. 

The photo above left is a fish fry on the street ...one of the many street vendor options that present themselves in Thailand.  

The photo on the right is of one of the beautiful dishes served at a Restaurant in Bangkok called Hemlock which specializes in what they call old traditional dishes.  It was very tasty and the leaves that accompanied the meal were all edible and yummy.

The kids below right were along the railroad tracks when we stopped in one of the stations... they love to have their pix taken... and I love to comply.

   

 

Everywhere one looks, one sees these small spirit houses in front of homes, stores, gas stations... you name it.  Here is one, above left, occupied by one of the many felines that have the run of the country... keeping watch. 

And finally, we had finished one of those huge travel days crossing the border from Cambodia back into Thailand... a test of one's patience with plenty of not so nice people in the cast.  

We finally found housing for our one night of rest before continuing back to Bangkok the next day.  We bedded down for the night only to discover the funniest out-of-context top sheets/blankets ever on the trip.  In fact, one was lucky to even get a top sheet on most of the trip... which is why we bring our serongs that serve double duty.  Just when you expect nothing... look what we got. 

Bob is especially ecstatic over his Tom and Jerry blanky.  And Vivian... you never looked more ravishing!  Lights out.
