Well we've been touring around Bangkok for the last several days. Here are just some of the many highlights with (finally) pictures!
The view from Doug and Meredith's apartment.
Jaguar vs. Lion.
Their cages share a fence, and it appeared they weren't very good friends.

Statue at the Grand Palace 
HUGE reclining Buddah at Wat Po... they say it's 55 meters long and the smile itself is 5 meters long. The feet are inlaid with mother of pearl. It was stunning.
The four-foot long lizards at the Central Park in Bangkok.Other than that we went to a lot of Wats (temples) and some of the shopping areas. The malls are some of the most amazing that I've ever seen. So clean and huge with surprisingly beautiful architecture and really fancy restaurants and movie theatres. We saw a movie one night and it was the most amazing theatre. Lounge recliners like lazy boys, and they provide blankets and refreshments...
Well, that's just a sampling... We're heading up north tomorrow. More to come!
Thanks for the pics.
