Temples, Temples, Everywhere

Sawatdee Kah!!

This week I set out to find the famous Reclining Buddha inside Wat Po, and got more than I bargained for! There were TONS of temples. Hard to believe our Thailand adventure (honeymoon #2) is almost over but these are probably the last temples I'll explore here. We officially booked tickets to Seattle October 14th! We leave at 6 AM and arrive at 8 AM short trip haha...not!

This is when I realized wearing capri pants was a terrible idea. I think it was 100 degrees outside. Mr. Reclining Buddha was HUGE! Hard to get a good picture because he was so enormous! 

So that was the main attraction, but surrounding Wat Po I took all the rest of these-

See what I mean about my outfit? You have to cover your knees and shoulders but the better strategy is to wear your short shorts and bring a little scarf to tie around when you go into a temple. Next time.

I guess there are ashes under all these Buddhas of whole families, they just keep adding them. 

 I was admiring this guy's winged eyeliner...mine is never that even haha!

I liked this rustic temple area and I want the tiles for my kitchen...or storage unit I guess :)

Can anyone tell I miss Coco? I snap a picture of every kitty I see! We're hoping to get a MI trip in before our next assignment to cuddle with her...and see you guys too!

Okay if you guys are as sick of seeing temple pictures as Alex is then you can breathe a sigh of relief, I'm done! They are just so pretty! We over heard a tour guide teaching some tourists about the teachings of Buddhism and apparently there's only 5 rules- No killing, no stealing, no cheating, no drinking or doing drugs, and my favorite explanation- one wife one love! And then the guide admitted that the last 2 are particularly hard for Thai people....nobody is perfect he says haha!

We are off to Koh Samed to lay on the beach and sleep in a beach hut yay!!
