Sand. It's Everywhere. Get Used to It.

Hello from the beach!! Found out where the internet was last night and decided to give an update. By the way, it's one of those beaches where the water is different shades of beautiful blue depending on how far out you go. The sand is white and soft and not hot at all. There is a lovely breeze keeping the bugs away. Be jealous.

  • There are at least two roosters here who continue to inform everyone at this resort the sun is up until three in the afternoon. 
  • The clientele is mostly Europeans. Mainly Russians with a few French. There are some Thais here with their kids.
  • The food here is obscenely over priced so that the least expensive thing on the menu is plain rice noodles for 50 baat. Anything really worth eating is more in the 150 baat range. Most of us, Drexler included, are eating a huge breakfast and holding off till dinner.  
  • I have sunburns on most of my body from my back to my ankles. Currently the most sunburned one here. Ow.  
  • Beaches aren't just for swimming anymore. They are for taking pictures of your wife/girlfriend in sexy positions.
  • The new style for swimsuits, according to most of the women here, is thongs. Not sure if it's the same in the US, but all we can think about is if they get sunburn on their butts and how bad the flight home is going to be. 
  • Watched Victor Victoria last night. And Lilo and Stitch. This beach doesn't really have much to do here. Swimming and hiking are free but anything else is almost ten dollars!! Who has that kind of money??
  • Lilith has gotten on everyones last nerve. Including Drexler's. It's a good thing we're coming home in a little bit. 
  • Made friends with a hermit crab. Calling him Hermey. Still hoping to see a sand crab. 
  • Just confirmed there is a third rooster. Heard it while the other two where strutting by. 
Just a few more days and then we'll be flying back. Still not sure how I'll feel about it because while I'm ready to go home I also don't want to go home yet. Maybe it's because I have wisdom teeth surgery waiting for me upon arrival. Leaving the beach tomorrow and going back to Bangkok.
