This concludes Green Jello’s week long Summer Loving Photo Challenge. Thanks Anne, so much fun! Wish she planned everything for me. What should I make for dinner tonight?
I’ve enjoyed digging through my “archives”, aka boxes and boxes of photographs in my closet.
Here are some photos of Noi, my nanny, and me on the beach in Pattaya my first summer.
I wish I still had that watering can and doesn’t that hat look very modern and Amy Butler-ish?
Enjoy your summer!
Photos taken during the summer of 1999, a very special summer. We had many adventures, my lovely man and I. Went to Thailand for a month to visit my parents in Bangkok and then traveled all around the country. Here are some highlights that I have no photographic proof of (or at least none that I’m sharing):
* We took an overnight train ride to a little town near the Cambodian boarder. I woke up to a blurry eyed E. who immediately threatened to, “write a letter to my congressman” about the clinking and clanking that kept him up all night. We still throw that phrase around when things aren’t to our liking and it cracks us up every time. * Getting engaged in Lumpini Park * Climbing the concrete bleachers to watch Azerbaijani play Pakistan in a match at a massive Thai soccer stadium. * Going to Koh Phra Thong for E’s birthday and waking up to the sound of monkey laughter. * Lazy jet lagged early mornings. * And of course, multiple trips to Suan Jatujak.
Here are the photos I do want to share! They are from our trip to Ayutthaya, the ancient capitol of Thailand. They were taken with my 35mm film camera and I scanned them to monster size, apparently. I have spent all the time my headache and I are able to try and fix the issue. So enjoy my super-sized vacation photos! Fries with that?
I’m playing along with Anne over at Green Jello. Not only is she my favorite Lost commentator, she also has great play along themes on her blog. This week is Summer Loving Photo Week. Leave a comment on her site if you want to join and be sure and check out the link for the Lego version of Summer Lovin’ from Grease while you are there.
