Sometimes I wish all we saw coming home from school was an old wagon and a horse, like in the Dr. Suess book. It sure would be a lot easier to ride my bike or drive the car! But, we don't need active imaginations to be excited about what we see coming home from school!
We only live a few minutes away from school, and we go down one long street that we call market street. Just yesterday on our way home, we saw:
three elephants!!!
more motorcycles than we could count, with more on them than you could ever imagine...one was transporting a table...yes, one man was driving, and the other was holding a table up over both of them!
tons of "soi" dogs...street dogs that are ugly and not very well kept...one was calmly eating a bone in the middle of the road, despite all the action around!
Vendors selling everything out of their carts, from hot grilled meat, to fruit, to brightly colored ballons,
bicycles, taxis, cars, motorcycles, carts, big garbage trucks,
lots and lots of people, most wearing yellow because it was a Monday, and with brightly colored umbrellas because it was raining,
monks in their flowing orange robes,
all kinds of shops...two Seven elevens, barber shops, internet shops, bicycle and motorcycle repair shops, frame shops, hardware shops, you name it, it's somewhere on that one street!
I wanted to write this down while I was thinking about...our rides to school and back are always so interesting...I need to take some pictures to show you that we really did see it all on market street!

That is so interesting, Sheila. It kind of streesed me out just reading it. I'd love to see photos, but please don't take them while you are driving!!!! :)
I also love the pics in the previous post. Beautiful family, beautiful home.
