OnMonday, February 2, we went to the "Ancient City". It is a park in which replicas of historic events, buildings and symbols are displayed. Four of our readers accompanied us which made the visit so much more enjoyable. They told us about what we were seeing. Much of the display told about the history of Buddha in Thailand. One admitted that she believed that what we were seeing was a myth (a word that we study in Lesson 1 of our readings) although she says that she is a Buddhist. We rode the Bangkok buses to get to the location. It took 2 hours to get back to the center on 3 different 'buses' (1. the back of a truck with benches on each side for 8 baht each (25 cents), 2. the free unairconditioned bus and 3. the airconditioned bus for 14 baht (35 cents) each.)
Mondays are special days for building relationships with our readers. We feel like this is a valuable thing to do. Some of the christians from the center help us plan and go with us on these activities. We plan to visit the Teakwood Mansion next Monday.
Looks like you are having fun and building great relationships. I so enjoy the pictures of all of you and your readers. I can't wait to see pictures of the Teakwood Mansion!! Bring back some of that weather with you will ya? It was -20 here this morning with a high today of 3. No short sleeves for us :)
