Happy Monk Party

These photos are from a Congratulations-on-your-entering-monk-hood-party back in June (not the official name :). I guess it's similar to when we send off missionaries in the Mormon church and have a farewell party. It was the hottest evening I had experienced up to that point. Jones and I ducked out early, missing the food, but escaping the heat.



A family just hanging out next to where we parked.



Traditional Buddhist shrine that can be found outside most homes and even businesses.







Lovely decorations. Looks more like a quinceƱera to me.



Except for the fish-flavored wheels.




Scott filming from afar.




The guests adjacent to us. Very shy, but very curious about Jones.




A lottery ticket vendor. These Thai people are serious about staying out of the sun. And remember how I said this was the hottest evening to date? Yikes.
