We took some photos today at the pier while waiting for the ferry that will took us across the Chao Phraya River. Our destinations, Chinatown and Indian town. JM passed the time by watching speeding boats which carried tourists passengers.
A ferry waits for the arrival of passengers.
A spirit house guards the pier.
Hidden behide these trees are boys having fun swimming along the river bank.

JM spends his summer holiday at home by assembling models of the world's famous landmarks. Today he worked on the leaning Tower of Pisa.
This is the finished model. Perfect in every detail ! 
Then the disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed; until then they had not understood the scriptures, which showed that He must rise from the dead.
EXPECTANCY
GOD'S LOVEJohn 19:30
O dear Redeemer, you underwent such agonized suffering for me, in order to restore me, may I show you my thankfulness in my penitence for my sin, my ardent desire to fight against sin, and above all in my love for You. I venerate Your cross, O Lord, for by virtue of the Cross, joy has come to the whole world. O Holy God, Holy and mighty, Holy and immortal, have mercy upon me. Amen.
WASHING OF THE FEET, THE INSTITUTION AND THE WATCH
We are now on the first day of the last week of summer school and it was so hot today! JM cools off with a bottle of cold water after lunch and back to his classes at 1:00 PM. Thank God for air-conditioning !
He's been a really good boy and student in the duration of the summer school. Reward awaits him this coming Friday. Keep up the good work JM !
ANOINTING AND CLEANSING
The disciples went and did as Jesus had ordered them.They brought the ass and the colt and laid their cloaks over them, and he sat upon them.The very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and strewed them on the road.The crowds preceding him and those followingkept crying out and saying:“Hosanna to the Son of David;blessed is the he who comes in the name of the Lord;hosanna in the highest.”
Hope looks for the good in people
JM was all set to play water with his water gun in todays Songkran festivities for kids only. 
There were several events during the day that interested me and one of these was the sand pagoda competition. The participants in this event were all teenagers. I went around to choose the two best entries. The one above was my second choice, and the sand pagoda below in my opinion . . . . 
was the most beautiful ! 
Really young kids had a lot of fun playing in the inflated playground. 
The pole climbing competition was also fun, but it was so difficult to win due to the discomfort caused by scorching summer heat. 
Buddhist bathed this Buddha image with perfumed water.
My son inspected his water gun in preparation for the biggest Songkran event . . .
playing with water !
His smile tells, a fun way to cool off during this hot, humid summer is to play water during Songkran. It was a truly enjoyable day for JM and he will join this event again next year !
JM is enjoying summer course at his new school.
Learning takes place every morning and students enjoy fun activities in the afternoons.
His new school has a lot of interesting things to see and explore.
From botanical gardens, to zoos, sports facilities and more !
Summer course will be over in a week's time and I hope you had fun !
