<p>Ever been on a longtail boat? It is quite the experience! Actually, we got to go sightseeing in Bangkok with Ricky Sanchez yesterday, He and his wife, Karen, are our host missionaries. Anyway, Ricky took us on a power tour. We saw the Grand Palace, which is the King's home and the most famous Thai temple (with one of the oldest jade Buddhas in Asia on display), did the longboat ride, then hit the Siam Paragon Mall (one of Bangkok's largest), and we even got to all experience the "squatty potty"a couple of times (just 3 baht and 2 extra for toilet paper)! What is great is that we achieved this by way of six forms of transportation, in this order...truck, van, taxi, longboat, train, and bus (not to mention our feet). Ricky said he was sorry he didn't have time to squeeze in a scooter and a tuk tuk, which is another story. You should only be so lucky to have such a caring, congenial, and totally refreshing host. Whodda thunk a missionary would ever be part of Raider Nation? GOOOOOOOO Broncos!!! Sorry, Ricky. Horses, are after all, practically royalty!!!
