Would any one like to try and explain these photographs??
Just took a picture on Makha Buccha day
Where have these spirits come from??



















there are lots more!
Pictures:
This journal used to look like a badly clipped hedge in IE. Now you can ONLY see the pictures in IE-nothing in Mozilla-even Firefox 2. Explanation?..quite...!
Anyway we went to Lao


and did the 4 sides of Wat Sisaket and several thousand wais at the run!

and lay and ate Lao food on the banks of the Mekong!
Fially we went to the inestmably charming Chaing Khan, north of Loei. A sort of Les Andelys Sur Mekong...and ate even more, even better fish!

I am a little depressd I don't presently have the energy to go wandering. It is difficult to leave E. I went to BKK for the night and came home early. E in paroxysms of delight..hugged all night and endlessly asking 'Why did you come back so quickly? Bought a Kumon book of Mazes which has silenced her for thr morning!
And I wonder why I want to go traipsing about Burma and Yunnan on my own. And the visa problems are endless. Rules changed for Schengen Visas, so now cannot get one for K here. Explanation: We don't have a database....bet the so-called militants happy about that!Also what is this idiotic PC photo stuff? A hair out of place, or a millimetre too small or big and their excuse is: We can't scan it! Well if you go to get a Thai Passport they scan it themselves and stick it in the passport, which might be a good idea for the embassies of all these rich countries, would it not!?
Burmese a bit idle...how many days??!
