Yesterday I spent the entire day visiting the Temple of Dawn and then the Temple of the Emerald Buddha with its colorful history (and the adjunct Imperial Palace), and then Wat Mahathat where I met a Thai doctor on vacation who invited me to sit before one of the giant Buddhas in the main hall to have a friendly conversation. That's a whole lot of Wats, but there are plenty more to come before I get wat-ed out. I've come to have tremendous respect for the beauty of traditional Thai architecture - basically was shutterbugging away just at the roofs of the buildings and temples. Tons of photos, but no time to upload any right now so this post will be brief (I plan to come back and update some of the post).

Imperial Palace. This is literally stunning.
