We are in day four of our 25 day cruise from Bangkok to Dubai. Today is our first day at sea, not port of call. But lets go backup.
We told many of you via email about our visit to the Prasart Museum in Bangkok. It is a collection of regional asian antiques and architecture. Several buildings reproducing Buddhist and Hindu temples. Lovely grounds thick with tropical vegetation including orchids and huge palm trees. Lots of small ponds and meditative spots. The owner wants to preserve arts and crafts of Thailand and neighboring countries.
On the way back to the port our bus driver pulled up next to a stalled vehicle on the 5 lane wide freeway and stopped, opened the window and took off his straw hat and handed it to the bald headed gentleman standing in the 104 degree heat. We were all impressed, then decided it was an example of a good Buddhist act.

We enjoyed an evening swim and photographic presentation by a travel journalist. That might be Nancy's next career aspiration.
Well, we haven't figured out the picture part.....
