Sawdee Ka - Oh The Places We Go! - BootsnAll Travelogues

Sawdee Ka

Ohhh we finally made it to Bangkok and it is amazing! We arrived at night and had two nice gentleman waiting for us at the airport... and they even made a sign. Courtney's childhood friend Steve and his friend Tavo are travelling with us for the next two weeks and they are amazing. They are so sweet and great travel companions. We had our first day today and we had to start it off with a traditional Thai massage.. wow did it hurt! It got all the toxins out so I know it was a good idea in the end. We got one hour for 8 bucks but that was the best place right on the temple grounds.. you can usually get them for 4! We visited the reclining buddha who is huge. I don't think that is an adequate word to describe the enormity of the gold structure with mother of pearl feet the size of three people!! We took a nice ride down the river in a small boat with an engine so big it took the drivers entire body to use it.
The sites and sounds of Bangkok are everything we expected and more. Their are food stalls on every available piece of pavement selling everything from fresh fruit, pad thai, banana pancakes and various bugs which Courtney sampled last night.. a cricket!!
We are going to Thai boxing tonight so I need to cut this short to take a shower and get ready. The heat here is opressive but we are getting used to it.
More to come!

belated B'Day wishes from the crew - Jack, Meg and Holly - smile a lot and laugh often.

Well it's true that we love one another
I love Jack White like a little brother
Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you

Jack give me some money to pay my bills
All the dough I give you Holly
You been using on pain pills
Jack will you call me if you're able?
I got your phone number written
In the back of my bible
Jack I think your pulling my leg
And I think maybe I better ask Meg
Meg do you think Jack really loves me?
You know, I don't care because
Jack really bugs me
Why don't you ask him now?
Well I would Meg
I really just don't know how
Just say 'Jack , do you adore me?'
Well I would Holly but love really bores me
Well maybe we should just be friends
I'm just kidding Holly
You know that I'll love you 'til the end

Well it's true that we love one another
I love Jack White like a little brother
Well Holly I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you

Holly give me some of your English lovin'
If I did that Jack I'd have one in the oven
Why don't you go off and just love yourself
If I did that Holly there won't be anything
Left for anybody else
Jack it's too bad about the way you look
You know I gave that horse a carrot
So he'd break your foot
Will the two of you cut it out
And tell 'em what it's really all about

Well it's true that we love one another
I love Jack White like a little brother
Well Sarah I love you too but there's
Just so much that I don't know about you
