Last week we were off school for most of the week for the Queen's Birthday. They take Mother's Day prettttttty seriously around here. So, because we were off, we decided to go to the Ancient City (it might be called Ancient Siam...I'm not sure). Anyway, we met Kat, who used to teach at CSB (where I teach), and we headed out of the city. Once we got there, we rented bikes for the day. I think it is technically a museum, but it is HUGE. There were just temples and statues and ruins everywhere. It was amazing. We just got to ride our bikes around wherever we wanted, and go into certain temples, and pass by others. There was even a small floating market in the middle of the place. It was seven thousand degrees that day, so while the bikes were awesome, it was disgustingly gross and sweaty. After we had been there for a few hours, and had seen a lot of the place (but there were whole areas we never even got to), we decided to call it a day. We were walking around, and we saw these steps. So, we decided to climb them. Every time we reached the top of one set of stairs there was another. On each level there were different ruin-type things. So we climbed and climbed and climbed, and we reached the top. It was gorgeous. Well, my typing this doesn't really do it justice, so I'm just going to post a bunch of pictures. So this is a visual blog.
Nice photos - looks like a great place to spend a day to two.

Brittany, I read your posts and they let me relive the times I was in Bangkok. Thank you for that. Your teaching experience isn't much different than most first year teachers' so have heart. I'm pretty sure you're going to make a good one if you decide to make it a career.
