There are some experiences that need repeating even if you don't think you need to :) Phyllis' morning class met us in the afternoon for another water taxi ride to downtown Bangkok. This time was memorable because it was late afternoon and we seemed to be on the "express boat". The driver was in a big hurry so we were surfing the Khlong and trying not to get wet! You can't beat the time it took, traveling the Khlong takes 35 minutes, by bus 2 hours! So, it was a repeat experience with new friends :) We had a great time touring another part of downtown Bangkok(check out that traffic pic) at a mall that was hosting a Thai craft festival with a movie promo of "fast and furious". Haven't seen the movie but all the cars they brought were pretty cool. A highlight besides spending time with the girls was seeing a baby elephant! This was our third elephant siting. Phyllis bought food to feed him. She wants to ship him home along with a car :) We tried some old and new thai food; papaya salad, noodle soup (not chicken noodle), Larp (google it), shredded pork with sticky rice, chicken with a great sauce and some fried thing that was good. The girls brought us home via the Sky Train- a first for us. Very fast but very crowded. Up close and personal seems to be the way life is here.
