With sighs of elation and nostalgia, we sadly report to you during our last two weeks in Thailand before starting the journey home to the USA. Yesterday we watched the sunset over the white sands of Karon Beach. We watched it all happen in four feet of crystal clear water in honor of all our friends and family who are currently sitting in snow at below freezing temperatures in Seattle. Not to rub it in or anything. We knew you would want to float on your back all day and listen to the sounds of the waves crashing and sand shifting underneath your body, so that's exactly what we did. It's beautiful here. Lots of tourists. We blend into the crowd until we start speaking Thai, then local ears really perk up and heads turn. We hope we don't forget the language when we come home.
As far as our plans go for the next two weeks here... If we're lucky Katie will fall asleep in a lounge chair under the shade of an umbrella while Travis thrashes about in the ocean, catapulting sea-sprays from his curly mane which he has been growing out for the last two years. Katie will only wake up to eat, or swim, or take pictures of Travis playing Capoeira on the sand like a wild monkey with his hair flying all over the place. If we're super lucky, we'll explore a few juicy restaurants in the evenings. Last night Katie chose Indian food. The night before Katie chose Egyptian food. The night before that Katie absolutely HAD to have cornflakes in a bowl with milk. Hmm... what's up with Katie's constant sleeping and weird food cravings??
Stay tuned...
