Today's picture is one that I really really love, it's a picture of a drawing made with some kind of a golden ink...

It's from the King's palace in Thailand. The drawing is very similar to the actual buildings we saw there, but somehow, when I look at it, it has something ancient about it...

That picture reminds me that about a minute after we entered the palace, rain started pouring (which is very normal during the month of October) and we got soaking wet.
It didn't really bother us so we just continued walking, and then we left the palace.
At that point, every umbrella salesperson we met thought we desperately needed one... they kept on offering until we replied "Can't you see we're ALREADY wet??"

So, I wanted to share some of the photos I took in my travels...

Today the picture is from Thailand, from a sunset trip (that's its name for the very obvious reason that it happens during the sunset) we took near Koh Phi Phi.
The picture is from the beach we stopped by to kayak and snorkel, before our ship got stuck and we had to wait for about an hour before a tiny boat came to tow us.

But other than that, it was a really amazing trip.
You watch the sunset from "Maya bay" which is where the movie "The Beach" was shot, and you get to the beach by swimming to a very narrow cave - while the sea waves are pushing you from one pointy rock to another.
It's scary, and I banged my knee, and got sea sick, but is was REALLY WORTH IT!
