Tod and Carlene ~ Elephants

All these pics are things I will eventually blog about, 

these are just samplings of what has been going on in our life over 2008!

After The Accident

After Billy arrived at the accident we went back to the University and sat in on his presentation 

(did I mention he is working on his PhD?). It is a small class and it was interesting when he 

presented the idea of basic freedoms being life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, everyone’s 

eyes got big. They couldn’t imagine such ideas. After his presentation we ate lunch on campus, 

went downtown to the Embassy, then went and got Tod fitted for a suit at Max’s. After that we 

ate at our favorite Thai restaurant for dinner and then went for a nice 1 ½ hour massage (at our favorite place downtown). Finished the night off shopping at MBK where we found some great 

deals on some cute shoes and purses. We didn’t have a lot of time because it was closing time 

so we got a crepe filled with bananas, ice cream and chocolate sauce for dessert. It was delicious. 

We headed home and got there around 10 pm. We were exhausted and slept well that night!

Overhead - Cross Walk

The little old Lady should have used this Overhead Cross-Walk; but can you really blame her for taking the short cut? Take a look at all those stairs she would have had to climb (left click to enlarge picture). The streets in Thailand are the most bizarre, you will very rarely see street lights and even when you do, much of the time they are ignored. There is no way to get across the street other than these Overhead Cross-Walks. With my bad knees I have crossed an intersection a time or two, but I am a bit faster than this lady and I don't try to stop the traffic as I go ~ well, besides that one time (disclaimer for those that have crossed the street with me).
