Hello,

A late start today.  My guide needs a new battery for his phone.  While I wait, I wander around town.

We ride toward Na Muen Sri Weaving Village.  The shop sells colorful clothing made from the textiles that are woven here.  Out back two women operate the clattering shuttle looms.  The ladies are pleased to see us but concentrate on their work.

On our way back to town, we stop at the Robinson Department Store for an early lunch at the Food Court.  I order a soup.  The lady server warns me that it’s spicy.  I respond, No Problem.  Believe me, it was spicy! So I comment to the lady, Very Spicy!  We laugh!

Now we’re on a pilgrimage to visit several religious sites in town.  First a Buddhist temple known for its outstanding wall paintings.  Then a Cave Temple. Then a one-hundred-year-old Church.  Then a Mosque.  Then a temple with an enormous stupa.
