Buses, Ferries, and Trains Oh My!
























































Dear Bloggers:

Today was a day of travel, photo shoots, great food, and a new location for the night.

I am posting my photos from last night - the puppet show at the Joe Louis Theater and the photo's from the Fishing Pier.

Our day started early by boarding a bus to the Fishing Pier mentioned on my travel schedule to the left. It was quite a site, not to mention the fish smells. The boats came in, unloaded their fish, were sorted, stacked, put on ice, and hauled away. You will get a glimpse of the pier from my photo's...it was fascinating to watch. The thing that struck me is how welcoming, again, the Thai and Burmese people were to having us present.

After the Fishing Pier we boarded a train to experience the case of the disappearing railway tracks. If you are curious about what I mean...check out this website:http://www.thai-blogs.com/index.php/2008/02/05/maeklong-market-railway-video?blog=5
After witnessing the "disappearing railway tracks" we were off the our new location to check in and have lunch. We edited and reviewed our images and then headed off for an evening market and photo shoot. We returned for dinner and then called it a day.

Tomorrow we head out early again and will be staying at another location by the ocean nearly an hour away. We start the day with a visit to the floating market and end the day with a Chinese New Year's Celebration.

Keep those blogger comments and postings coming...Linda

  3. It took this tech dodo a long time to figure out how to post a comment! Linda Lu -- your photos are drop-dead gorgeous! I think you just might have a talent, girl. Seriously, the composition, your eye for small things. What a wonderful thing you are doing for yourself -- and for us, as we get to see the products. -- love, Sister C
