Wednesday in Paradise

Wednesday started with Leslie and her mother driving into town on their own. This may not seem impressive at first, but consider that there are no street names nor house numbers, 95% of the cars are right-hand drive, but the road systems is what we use in the states.

Once they returned, we picked up Danka and the five of us went to see a local artisan named Boong who collects trocus and clam shells and using hand tools and grinders make jewelery.

The first picture was from the side of his house. It is of a Radio Flyer tricycle. The second picture is of Boong and a shell that he used to make a necklace that is coming home for my mother.

The third picture is of a wood carving at a Thai restaurant in which we had a late lunch. From there we went to the museum of history and met Elvis the Cockatoo. The museum has pictures, carvings, and war relics.

The final picture is out of the door to our room.
