Every once-in-awhile, no matter what activity may be filling your time, kicking back and relaxing for a bit is a necessity (if nothing more than to recharge your batteries). Today was one of those times. For the past five months, we have been delving deeply into the various cultures encountered in this adventure and have thoroughly enjoyed every experience. Time to "...sit back and smell the roses." We took a very leisurely stroll to a delightful little park about a half mile from our apartment. What a wonderful experience this turned out to be. Formerly the location for the Thai meteorology office, this park is dedicated to the Queen. It is exquisitely decorated and maintained, as well as quite peaceful.
Wind chimes caught available breezes and added delightful sounds to the area.
A number of pagoda type structures located around the park afforded the opportunity to get some shade while enjoying the ponds.
Stone gardens were well planned...
...as were the garden mazes...
...and even the topiary elephants.
Stick jugglers found shady areas to practice.
There were at least two exercise areas, two children play yards, a swimming pool, a skateboard rink, a soccer field, and a basketball court.
There was even an area for kick volleyball.
The maintenance staff made sure the whole park stayed clean.
...although they did find time to pose for a picture.
Everyone seemed to be enjoying the peace and tranquility...
...even the cats...
....and the turtles.
This was a really enjoyable place to visit.
