Buddha casting .


Tradition has it that during the monks ' probation ' period ( Pariwat ) it's a good time to create some new Buddhas.


                                               They're sculpted wax on top of plaster



                                         
                                               covered in cement(?), rebar and cement again

Jodi Froome or vroooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmm


Not the nicest weather for a first bike trip 



coffee and a new bike at the broken spoke


coming home there's always the ferry wait 



taking the highway wasn't the smartest move, but now we know , and there's always the chance of bumping in to Chucky..........
