Eat Pray and Eat Some More

Hello everyone,

I'm back from Thailand, which now seems like a fuzzy dream with floating Buddhas and lots of dancing coconuts. Actually, come to think of it, that was a dream. But really, my experience couldn't have been any better thanks to some wonderful friends who were willing to put up with me and the hubs and guide us all over the country. These are just a sampling of more than 850 photos- all taken with my new Canon S95, which has really impressed me for a compact. I just couldn't imagine carrying my slr and lenses on the trip, so I went all out on a pocket-sized camera that would last me for a good many years. This is the first of two installments of photos. I will be adding more pics to my Flickr including lots more food shots.
