Today was another long day. We went to the US Embassy to apply for Eli's visa. We waited for 2 hours for our "interview". We were sworn into oath and then asked a couple questions like: is everything still accurate from our home study and do you promise to complete his vaccinations when we return to the states. The interview took 5 minutes tops. Then it was back to the hotel to eat some lunch. Later in the day we walked to Lumpini Park in Bangkok. While we were there a message in Thai started coming from a loud speaker. Eli was shocked. He couldn't get over how that voice was coming out of that pole. He kept pointing at it and doing his surprise face. He kept babbling, as if asking "what the heck is that!?" At one point some music started coming from it and everyone is the entire park stood still. It must have been a national anthem? We stood still too, just to be on the safe side. There are lots of security and uniformed people around, especially in the park.
When we were walking we came across a road where lots of people were jogging. Eli saw this and got very excited. He started running along with them. I think he thought he had lots of people playing chase with him. He kept looking back at them, like "are you going to tickle me?"
We saw 2 different kinds of lizards in the park, it was pretty interesting.
This was a sculpture in the park, I thought was very nice. It reminded me of sculpture i had photographed in Chicago.
This is the view from our hotel balcony tonight. The sky is clear and the weather is perfect. Jon thinks it is too hot and just asked me to turn the AC up...
