Buddha's Day

I got a foot massage today while my parents got Thai massages. Since the Thai massage is two hours and the foot is only one, I walked a few blocks to the Lacoste store.

Then we went to Chedi Luang temple because it's Buddha's day. I'm not Buddhist but I love going to temples because they're so beautiful.

I don't really know of it, but it's an important holiday. School was is out for three days.

The temple was packed. I had to sit there for about half an hour listening to the monks pray.

Then it rained again.

I love this picture because the guy running really shows the chaos--everyone was coming out at the same time and trying to get their shoes and trying to figure out what they were going to do.

Next we had dinner at an Italian restaurant (I forget the name) a few blocks away. The staff there are all handicapped in some way. Our waitress was in a wheelchair.

The owner is an Italian man who contracted polio when he was a child and wanted to help people who would other wise be entirely dependent on other people.
