"Keep Your Eye Out for Dragons"

As Kate and I entered the park she actually said "keep your eye out for dragons". Believe it or not, it's not uncommon here. In the US if you venture into a park you might meet a few squirrels, a rabbit, turtle, or whatnot. Nope. Welcome to Thailand. We spent our morning reading in the park and watching monitor lizards go by.
A quick biological note: technically they are not komodo dragons. Komodo dragons are a distinct breed of monitor lizard only found in the Indonesian islands. But for all intents and purposes, they're kind of the same thing.

A picture I took of one of the moniors swimming in the park.

See? You learned something today. So anyways, we had a pretty laid back day today. Figured we'd go hang out with some dragons this morning; work on lesson plans and devotionals. Just another day in Thailand.
