  2. Great account of your travel Hemanth! As I had said earlier, you have the talent of taking the reader along with you to experience all the pain and pleasures you had undergone in your travel. Seeing family after a long time must have been so gratifying. Lovely pictures as usual and of the reclining Buddha in the Buddha Park and at Wat Pho. That you are able to narrate as a sequence is a great art. Keep going.. All the best!
