First thing we did was go by the train station and check on taking a trip tomorrow.
We went back to the Grand Palace. My dad waited outside and wrote some postcards and I went in and took some of the pictures that I'd wanted to take the day before. I also stopped in at the Wat Phra Kaeo which houses the Emerald Buddha, it was kind of impressive in that it's whole lot of emerald but it the building it was in was sort of gaudy.
After leaving the Grand Palace we went to Wat Po and saw the reclining Buddha. I was impressed, the image is huge, possibly 30m long. I got a couple of pictures but they don't do it justice at all.
What's striking to me is how small the tourist circuit is. I keep seeing people over and over again.
I started updating this journal. Finally got a structure that I like, need to fix the input forms up next. They're pretty basic but functional. I'll probably try to get the web portion up so that I can upload it and the database when I find a net connection.
