Nong Nooch gardens

Saturday today... slept in a little, then swam for an hour. It's very cool as I have the entire pool to myself in the mornings. The roads are pretty crazy and I don't want to take the chance of running outside which is a bummer. I know that my running is going to suffer. Pana and I took a trip out and went to Nong Nooch Gardens (http://www.nongnoochtropicalgarden.com/en/index.asp) which was really cool. I even met 2 new friends who gave me a lift!

We went to a thai cultural show (which was a little hokey) toured the botanical gardens, saw an elephant show, and went for an elephant ride.

We then went to a Buddhist temple and paid respects to artifacts of The Buddha as well as went to several museums and was able to see several of the terra cotta soldiers which were part of the army found in the tomb of Emporer Qin:

We went to lunch at a seafood place (you pick it, it gets cooked) which was really good, despite the volume of flies. What always gets me on flies is not that they are walking around on my food, but rather what were they walking around on last...

An awesome day!!! Ran on the treadmill at night.
