Well, we finally got out today and did some sightseeing! The other days so far, we've been working around naptime, swimming time, and AB's addiction to playgrounds! I looked into doing some guided tours with arranged transportation, but in the end we just took the Skytrain to the river and got on the river express boats to go to some of the temples and the Grand Palace. I had some other places on my list (zoo, and another temple in Chinatown) but it was SO hot and we took longer at the first few places than I expected... Anyway, we had a great outing. It was HOT, and we wore jeans because you have to be covered up properly to go into the Grand Palace grounds. AB took a quick snooze toward the end of our visit to this temple. She actually missed the reclining Buddha - but I'll show her the pics!
there she is!
inside one of the small temples on the grounds
cool pillar thingy
cool stone statue guy
inside one of the other temples on the grounds

not sure what this was, but it was pretty!
the Reclining Buddha
the face of the Reclining Buddha
the looooong body
Buddha feet
the looooong back side of the body
back of the head
