I just had my second massage in three days-- I'm feeling kind of decadent. Because this is my last night in Thailand I shelled out a whole $10 for an hour-long massage at a fairly fancy-pants place (it's about 3 times more expensive than my beachside massage the other day!).
This morning we went to a Buddhist temple, and it was the only sightseeing we have done in a week-- thank goodness. After two weeks in China, we were both a bit done with the sightseeing-- it was nice to not have to think about our grant and just do what we wanted to do for a few days. We have basically spent the last five days eating, sleeping, relaxing, shopping and drinking lots of banana milkshakes. There were pedicures involved... and spring rolls... and an episode of "the Daily Show-- Global Edition". That's about it.
I have loved every minute of it.
China is a far distant memory and India looms large ahead. We fly to Delhi tomorrow morning...

One night in bangkok - isn't there a song in there, somewhere??? The world's your oyster....but the pearls ain't free....
Great photo trail, Rob ~ gosh, I can't believe how much ground you're covering! Love the photos from Bangkok. I remember Phil saying something awhile back that was strange to him about Thailand, Asia in general, that there are all of these thousands of year-old buildings that aren't tourist shrines, but rather still in use buildings all over.
Any monkey accostings?

Your postcard came the day after my birthday, so you win the bookend birthday greetings award. You rode a bike for 30 miles? in a row? It's like I don't even know you anymore...
