J and I woke up with a bang the other night. . .HUGE thunder and lightening storm. Both of us wanted to look outside and check out the chaos but neither of us could manage to remove ourselves from under our terrycloth covers. Along with the windows we shook with every boom for about 2 hours, convinced that the storm was happening right in our room.
Luckily the next day brought tons of sunshine. We also realized that the rain brings out some sort of huge red cockroachy bug. . .and then we realized the vendors are thrilled by this because they can cook them and sell them on the side of the road to eat. Hmmm don't think I'm feeling quite that adventurous yet. . .
We went to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho yesterday. It took hours just to walk through those 2 places. They have the most amazing temples and huge golden Buddhas. Highlights were the Emerald Buddha and the largest reclining Buddha. I'll add pics later.
We're really getting the hang of moving around this crazy city whether it's walking, riding the Skytrain or the tuk tuks. We're still waking up about 6am everyday from the time difference but don't really mind. We start early, keep ourselves busy in the city, then crash about 8pm. . .so no, we haven't seen the crazy Bangkok night scene yet. Maybe one of these nights. . .
Miss you and love you! Talk to you soon!
