Altenew has a challenge from places abroad, and I new I had to enter as this challenge is Thailand.
I was fortunate to have visited Bangkok, seven years ago and remember it well. What an experience, one that I would not have imagined if our daughter and family were not living there. There is so much color and gold and everything shines.
I when back to look at some of my pictures from our visit there.
