Random shots

A night shot of our local City Pilar Shrine, always beautiful, no matter the time of day.

Elephants really do walk down the street. We took this photo on the back of a "bus" we were on as we drove around the elephant. Behind the elephant you can see the other typical form of transportation in the area, a bike taxi.

Amye with one of her classes. The peace sign for photos is a BIG thing with Thai kids.

The inside of a mangosteen. Range in size from golf ball to baseball, with a hard purple outer shell, bright red inside with white fruit that literally melts in your mouth... mmm, so good!

One of the many fruit vendors on the streets of SiSaket. In the foreground are just two of the MANY motorbikes that line the streets by the market at night. Both of the fruits for sale are common to the region. Durians on the left and rambutian on the right.

A close-up photo of the rambutian fruit. It looks prickly, but the green spikes are soft and the inside holds a white jelly-like fruit.

The view of rice patty fields from the train. This was on our way to Ubon from SiSaket.

Getting ready for some time by the pool during our trip to Ubon.

The sunset in Ubon from our hotel room. Sunsets here are always incredible, especially when there are some thunder clouds on the horizon. --Pictures cannot do it justice--

Spending some time by the pool in Ubon.

Corn: not just a vegetable but a sweet used in many desserts. Take for example, the Corn Sundae (yes, really) at KFC.
