Well, at least we got about 5 hours of sleep last night, so we're starting to adjust the ol' Circadian rhythm to Bangkok time. As usual the youngest lead the way. Kyra slept for about 6 hours with a short break in the middle for a milk break.
We went out for a short walk last night down to the 7-11 to get some water and snacks. We were going to pick up some beer but they don't sell it after midnight. We were out at about 0130 and the soi (street for you non Bangkokians) was still pretty busy. We were even approached by one of the infamous Bangkok elephants. These are guys that take their elephants around and try to make money off them by selling food for the elephant to the tourists. It is illegal, but not a lot of effort is put into enforcing the law. It's a hard life for these beautiful creatures to walk on the hot, hard and sometimes broken up streets of the city. The best thing to do is to ignore them. Maybe someday this will stop.
It wasn't too bad out last night. Still very humid, but at least the temperature was bearable. I even had some beef satay for one of the street vendors (one of Courtney's favorites). It was pretty good. 10B per skewer (about 3 for a buck) isn't bad. Next time, SomTom and a stop at the fruit vendor.
Well, that's about it for now, Deb is at the gym, and in a bit well be going for breakfast and then heading off to do some shopping and visiting.

Well, there you are, in the middle of things! Ken, you describe things in a way that makes the reader feel like they are there with you. The sounds and sights and smells of the city. Imagine you have already seen an elephant. Will follow your journey with great interest.
