Thailand -- humid, fragrant, rich, raw, friendly, stunning, wacky Thailand -- keeps getting in the way of my actually starting this blog. I am currently drafting a little something about the odd and thrilling juxtaposition of water-partying in the streets for Thai new year and the fiery political protests we brushed up against in Bangkok.... In the meantime, I will whet my own blogging palate by posting some photos.
From the bottom up, I guess (please forgive the formatting... how the heck do you get Blogger to let you change the layout once you've uploaded them? This thing is a paaaiiinnnnnnn):
The long view of the reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, Bangkok.
Mark and his lady, Jeab, in Lumphini Park, Bangkok.
A woman roasting meat at the world's largest outdoor market, Chatuchak, Bangkok.

More soon....
