Yesterday Noni and I played tourist and went to the town of Bo Sang, about 10 km. east of the city to visit the factory famous for it's beautiful, hand made umbrellas. It was quite a wonderful experience. Here are some photos from the trip.

| Guess what they sell here |

| Turning the hub on a lathe |
 |
| Assembling the frame |
 |
| Showing off her handiwork |
 |
| Watching the Thai tourists photographing their friends is a whole other activity |
 |
| Pasting on the cotton tops |
 |
| Drivers might be forgiven if they miss this traffic sign just outside the factory |
Simone and I love the umbrella photos.
