Tourist Day

Hello! So, on Saturday mom and dad took their preparation day to spend time with Chantelle and I. We decided to go see some popular tourist sites. To start the morning off though, I made Sweet Rice Porridge. I combined rice, coconut cream, honey, and banana and heated it all up. We all thought it was really good! Then we went to the Royal Palace. We got a tour guide, but after we agreed we could have seen more without a guide due to everything closing for lunch. We still got to see the main buildings though. They were absolutely stunning. One of the buildings-the Silver Pagoda has a floor made of entirely silver. The tree below is supposedly the type of tree Buddha was born under I think. It's hard to see, but if you can see the blue flag in one of the pictures, it means the King was there because it was flying. After the Palace, we went to the National Museum. To be honest, it was quite boring. I can only look at so many Buddhist and Hindu statues. Surprisingly it only took us 2 hours to see both, which we were not expecting. So, we went to a little Thai restaurant. Some of the dishes were good, but I thought mine was disgusting. We then went to the Russian Market. We've been to a couple of markets but this is the biggest and the most touristy one. It was fun, but by the end dad and I were done with the sticky, sweaty, stinky, crowded hallways. We were all pretty exhausted after and were sweating buckets...literally! It was a fun day and well spent!
