Now in Sukhothai

The last couple days have involved what seems like endless amounts of traveling by boat, van, bus, and train...not to mention the bicycles we used in Ayutthaya yesterday and today!

After we left Bangkok we went to Ayutthaya. It is the old capital of Thailand, and has lots of ancient ruins. The city is actually an island, surrounded by a couple rivers all convening together. The ruins were pretty neat, and we spent the morning and last night on our bicycles riding around, checking things out and taking sweet photos on our awesome camera!

This afternoon we then caught a 6 hour bus ride up to Sukhothai. It is another city that has a lot of ruins, so that will consume tomorrow.

Cheers!

  1. Hi Mike & Lindsay....we really look forward to seeing the photos when you get home. I was down in Abbotsford on the weekend and had the opportunity to show Grandma & Grandpa the pictures to date. on uncle Stan's computer. You are constantly in their thoughts & prayers.

    We are really looking forward to you getting back but that also means I am behind in Christmas shopping!

    Enjoy your last good week there! Have lots of fun and relax because soon you will hit reality.

    lots of love, mom Ray

  2. Hi Mike and Lindsay - ditto Val's comments.
    We've flooded the rink 3 times so it is almost ready for skating. We've had -10 for a few days now without snow, so it has been perfect conditions. Can't wait to see you.

  3. Hi guys: Glad you are seeing some history of the country. You can go to beaches anywhere any time and closer to home. Soak in the atmosphere and tuck it away in your knowledge bank. Lyn and Ken Stofer, GM and GP

  4. Hi Mike: Have read your latest lengthy comment. I see your old brain has been a whirling around. I guess being immersed in that part of the world has, for some reason, given you pause for thought. We noted your comments with interest. Yes, you have a great gal there in Lindsay. Care for her. Take care and have a wonderful time until your return. >Lyn and Ken< GM and GP Stofer.
