I will be leaving this 5 star hotel with free internet so I thought I would send you a quick update.
I went to the Grand Palace today and it is unlike anything I have ever seen. There are no words and I could spend my life searching for suberlatives. How ANYONE (talking to you DC) can see the Palace and not see and feel God is beyond me. I forgot to charge the camera so I have no pics. I did tour the Palace with these two elderly sisters from Whales and they were just like Maggie Smith and Judi Dench. I swear...they were such a treat. The said they were sisters but I think that was their cover story. They took some pics and will mail them to me. On my way back to LA (many moons from now) I will go back to the Palace and take some photographs.
This city is so beautiful and yet it cries out for mercy at evey turn, It is so hard to shake the poverty and sorrow as all of thye opulence stares you in the face. I leave for Pukett tomorrow and this man is ready for the ocean...the old gal is calling me.
O.K. I have already had a handful of odd spiritual things happen. So I am packing the night before I leave and I can't get Leaving on a Jet Plane out of my head by Peter, Paul & Mary. When I was a boy I loved the 45 and would play it ober & over and sit in front of my bedroom room and dream of traveling and being on a plane. I would count all of the countries I wanted to see.
So, I am getting my first Tai message and in the middle of it in the lobby they start to blare Leaving on a Jet Plane. O.K. Kids what is the odds of that...Really. When the Happy Ending came I was laughing to myself.
It is all so strange, wild, wierd and fascinating. There is a "not so chessy" piano player singing Every Breath You Take in the lobby below me. If he breaks into Leaving On a Jet Plane then the Gods must be really happy becasue they are playing with me. Who know what movie that line is from????
Love & Light, J

Great to read all this, love the not-so-cheesy piano player - that would have been me.
We send big big hugs.

"The gods must be happy. They are playing with me." It's from 'Out of Africa,' right?
Looking forward to the next installment.
