We visited our first wat, or Buddhist temple, last week: Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, founded in 1383. It's located on Doi Suthep mountain, about 15 km out of the city. Apparently there is a gondola that will take you to the top, but we never saw it. We walked to the top, me carrying William, Dave carrying Isabella. Olivia blew by us and was casually waiting at the top when we finally arrived, sweating and out of breath.
Some of the temple rules are that you must remove your shoes, you have to keep your head lower than the Buddha images, and, judging from the illustration on the poster we saw, you can't have a mullet or wear hot pants. Darn!

Eating waffles outside the temple. They are quite fond of waffles here.
Mom looks friendly, doesn't she?
