She Sells Seashells by the Seashore

Hello! Still laying low here in our apartment. The earliest either of us go back to work is on November 21st. The water is receding in our area very slowly, but surely. Friends have been asking us if we are bored out of our minds waiting to go back to work. The answer is NO! Like Vancouver, Bangkok is definately not a city where one could ever get bored. So much to see and do. Andy and I both have a long list of "things to do". One thing I checked off my list is, "make Andy accompany me to the Bangkok Shell Museum". So, here it is ladies and gentlemen. Our adventure to the musem.

Ok, I lied. This isn't the museum.
It is, however, a picture of an awesome meal we ate at the restaurant down the road from us.

 

Shell museum! We walk by it every time we go to mass. Finally checked it out. Fun!
 

There were 3 floors of the museum, exhibiting over 3,000 shells from around the world.


Sea urchins from CANADA!





Heart shaped shells. Cute.



Hello
Shells that looked like bananas.


Inside an aquarium.
Not actually though.



A wall made of shells.


Shells, shells, shells.


I wanted tiger tiger ice cream after I saw these.
Shells galore.



Ukrainian easter eggs?


A moose for my brothers.
