There is no Thanksgiving here...it is an American holiday. But the hordes of american expatriates do use it as an excuse to meet old friends and go out to dinner. This evening I joined my cousin Jean Walzer and a couple of her friends for dinner at a Swiss restaurant down the street from her house. The food was very good and the company was excellent.
Yesterday I got up in late morning and went to the hotel gym for some exercise, then a quick lunch at the McDonalds across the street.....love the double fish fillet sandwich they have here. Then I decided to visit a large public park to walk and read the newspaper. This is a photo of a SkyTrain station that I used to get to the park.
Lumphini Park has several lakes and lots of green. And some temple-like gazebo structures for relaxation.
Apparently the park is most lively in the early mornings and early evenings as most smart locals avoid the midday heat....it was very hot and humid. After almost 2 days here I am almost used to walking around sweaty and hot......only 2 showers a day and lots of water to drink for hydration. It is amazing that the workers in the park are swathed in clothes from head to toe such as these ladies who were sweeping fallen leaves.
