The Grand Palace

[posted by: liz swauger]

Here's a teaser... there are soooo many pictures from today, and it is taking me about 2 min/pic upload-- so here is what you get for the day!! :) Enjoy!


My attempt at artsy food pictures... our lunch today!






A river taxi that resembled the one we took to the Grand Palace
Riding on the river-taxi

There were houses like this that lined the river-- oftentimes juxtaposed with things that were far more lavish and ornate.
Arrival at the Grand Palace


Everything was so ornate!
These statues amused us...



Our team-- with the famous jade-buddah behind us. In Thai culture, you haven't been to Thailand until you have seen the this. It was definitely yet another opportunity to be culturally immersed! And, it helped us connect to the Thai people during the "Conversation Corner" because we could open up dialogue about the parts of their city that were important to them-- and then transition from that into the Gospel!
The trip wouldn't be complete without a run-in with the police! He was friendly though :)
