Mission Impossible..but complete

Well I just made it back from the most amazing trip of my life!
Thailand was INCREDIBLE. There is no other way to describe it.
I took a bazillion pictures, so I will have to post about the trip maybe over the weekend when I have a little more time. I had the time of my life :)
A lot of you have been so sweet to ask about my photo with my Grams skirt and the temple so I thought I would post about that until I have time to blog about the whole trip.
We flew into Bangkok around midnight and headed straight to the hotel. After a HOT (couldnt figure out AC) sleepless night we woke up the next morning to go find the temple!
The Royal Palace was jammed pack full of people due to Chinese New Year, but it was still incredible (Ill post more pictures later).
I slipped on that blue skirt, which fit like a glove and headed out to find that temple!! I was SO excited.
Before I left I printed out a picture so I could find the EXACT spot and pose just like her. Where could it be?
This place was huge! It was like a whole block just full of temples and other amazing palaces. I searched and searched and couldnt find it. I walked up to a Thai guard and showed him the pictures and shrugged my shoulders to gesture I needed help finding it. He pointed to an area and to my sad sad sad surprise this is what I found...

I could see the exact spot she was standing! But I couldnt get to it :(
If you look through all the scafolding you can see the bench that is behind her in her picture. So close!

Im normally not an emotional girl...ah who am I kidding, I am..I wanted to cry my eyes out. I was SO close and come all this way and had her skirt. So I did the best I could, and kept my tears in and thought how lucky I was to be in at least the same area as her.
Here we are! Sorry, I cant figure out how to put our pictures side by side.
