(I can so hear the conversation. Italian tourist: "What's a-that?" Thai guide: "Exactly, sir! Wat Suthat!")
Arrived late Monday night. Leaving airport building like stepping into furnace. Today (Tuesday) walked many miles in withering heat looking at many shrines & temples - all gorgeous, and the magnificent grand palace with its many buildings and lovely gardens. Chose AC place for lunch and later for fluid replacement and cool-off. (No booze!) Late afternoon to a huge mall - 5 floors, nice and cool. Leave late tomorrow for Cairo, probably totally wilted. All's well. Much love, M + P
