Arrival in Bangkok

 After 29 hours of travel from my home in San diego to my Hotal in Bangkok, I arrived at 130am. I went to sleep for 4 hours and awoke with the sun on Monday morning. The weather was good with sun, temperature in the day of about 87F and cooling breezes with reasonable humidity. I took a walk around the hotel area in the Ratchaprasong area of central Bangkok. Nearbby in the center of the commercial district was a spritual oasis called the Erawan Shrine. I took a few photos of the people praying and dancing ladies in traditional costume.

Monday I met my friend Aong for lunch at a Thai restaurant and got the SIM card for my phone that he had purchased for me. I resed late in the afternoon and went out for dinner and some nightlife.
On Tuesday I met my cousin, Jean Walzer for lunch at a small Italian restaurant and we talked. After lunch we walked over to her attorney's office to chat with him and pick up her mail. She doesn't trust the Thai postal service in her neighborhood so she has it delivered to her attorney's office. She has lived in Bangkok for 11 or 12 years...originally teaching English writing at a University and then retired about 5 years ago to live in Bangkok.
I have got my brain acclimated quickly to the new time zone.
