Ronald McThailand

I finally met Ronald McDonald in Thailand. We prayed together. I had to do all the talking though, he's quiet and shy.
What a guy!

Home...on the Tonle Sap River

This is home to some of the residents we met as we coasted along Cambodia's Tonle Sap River in our tour boat.  I was really embarrassed about the many times I had complained in my life.

Buckley's and Ceramics

This ceramic statue at the Royal Palace in Bangkok, looks like he just swallowed a gulp of Buckley's', pardon his expression. He is one of many awesome looking ceramic statues to be admired on the site.

Elephants as well.

Cambodia also has elephants, they're tiny, but they're there!
Now that's some bad sentence structure coming from a teacher eh?

Kuala Lumpur Bird Park

KL has an awesome bird park with very unique birds. They were beautiful. We walked for hours as sweat dripped down our bodies like dew off the end of a.....well...you get the idea.
In one area, the birds were sharing space with some rats. It was cool to see Rick bolt through the cage doors.!

Elmer Fudd in Cambodia

Cambodia is an awesome country but "You must be vewry vewry careful..we're huntin' lephantsOh yes, it was right on the sign. We didn't see any because they apparently come out at night.  Apparently, Elmer Fudd is also in the country!

Batu Faces!

No,no, no...it's not Michael Jackson...It's Zira.

Queens

Two Queens, posing side by each, like a pair of toasts!

Batu Caves, Malaysia

Sea of turquoise

A 20 minute speed boat ride to this location, from our Castaway Resort in Ko Lanta, and we snorkeled for four hours while others dove with their huge equipment and  heavy belts. 

Ko Lanta and the Castaway.

In Ko Lanta, Thailand, we stayed at the Lanta Castaway Beach Resort. We were treated like Kings and Queens, the entire time. It was awesome. This elephant played the mouth organ, twirled a hula hoop, and ate about 27 and a half bananas. 

The Luna Bar...

We made it to the Luna Bar on our last night together. We had a fine evening. We enjoyed ginormous  Strawberry Daiquiris and a panoramic view in the back ground. What a night! What a memory!

Yo Cowboy!

First day home after the whirlwind vacation, what a nice pace now! Slow and easy and relaxed!
