Songkran or the Thai New Year happens to coincide with Easter this year and the Buddhist temple in Miami had a big festival planned. Since these festivals are a chance for us to experience Thailand with out the expense and time of a trip halfway around the world we love to go.
Here are some pictures from the festival. We did meet a couple of our Thai friends at the festival and for some reason Karl didn't take a single picture of our friends. Maybe we'll do that next time.

A small Songkran parade
Several children performed traditional Thai dances
Here's Karl and I
Thailand is going through some difficult times with their government so unstable. Let us hope and pray that this New Year will bring more peace and security to the Thai people.
