January 11, 2004My Precious
Now that that pesky Anthony is no longer allowed to post, the blog is ALL MINE again. :) It's mine, my PRECIOUS. We loves it. It's Sunday here and Vanessa and I are in Ayuthaya, the ancient capital of Thailand, or Siam as it was formerly known. We visited the big ol' ruins of all the wats and chedis. We also ran across a few youngish monks. My experience with monks had been that they are pretty quiet and standoff-ish but these guys wanted their pictures taken and wanted to chat with us. Very strange.... We left Bangkok this morning but not without having had a busy few days there. Vanessa shopped like a champ and I shopped vicariously through her. I hate not being able to buy stuff, but I also hate carrying 30 kilos in my pack. We drank Long Island vino and watched a pirated Return of the King. We're such LOSERS but at least Vanessa has sunken to my level. She quotes the movies as well now. In fact, she noticed that Thai writing looks like "some form of Elvish." Errr.... um..... I've been practicing with the new camera and some stuff is cool about it, and some stuff confuses the shit out of me. As soon as I can download, I will post some pics. Tomorrow we head out to Pretchburi to visit a few temples, and then on to southern Thailand and the beaches. Shocking for the Mayer sisters, I know. Comments
That opening cracked me up! My precious...haha. Did the movie live up to your standards? Did you and your sister pretend to be in a Mortal Combat scene? MORE BEACH!? I am shocked. One might say you LIKE the beach? :) Sometimes mosquitos are attrached by the different smells your body releases...I am not referring to BO but that fact that what you are EATING may be making the skeetos attack. Just a thought. Posted by: Stephanie on January 11, 2004 02:42 PMMy two bathing beauties safe and sound. I hope you are ready to make use of the pool this summer again. You were fun at the bar-b-cues and just lounging. I llok forward to pics and such from the digicam. |
