Meg and I are currently in Ko Chang, Thailand. Its an island near the Cambodian border. We had origianlly planned on flying to Bangkok and taking a hard slog into Cambodia to see Angkor Wat. But after considering the time required, the dusty and bumpy road, and the costs involved, Meg and I decided to leave Cambodia for our next Asia tour. That list now includes, Southern Laos,  China, India, and Cambodia.

Instead we decided to start our Island hoping a week earlier than planned. Our friend Rudi had given us a card for a bungalow on Ko Chang. He was friends with owners and said it was great place to spend some time. We couldnt agree more. Its chill, relaxing, beauiful, and ever night they haev a beach front barbeque feature the catch of the day, and they mean it literally. On the ferry over to the island this was the welcome the ocean gave us. (mind you we had not seen the ocean since we where flying over it from the US).

The next day we spent exploring the island and doing some swiming. We returned to our bungalow, showered (in cold water) and went to the restraunt for the barbeque and the sunset.

Today we spent kayaking around the archepelagio, then we returned earlier to our bugalow. The tide begun to go out, and Meg and I spent the afternoon/evening in waist deep water (shallow waters that extends a kilometer out ) watching the sunset, as minnows leaped by the thousands around us.

Tomorrow we are going to explore the inner island. The island, the largest of a huge archipelagio, is actually several mountains that rise out of the ocean. Insland there is supposedly several beautiful waterfalls that we have been told are not to be missed. We hope everyone is doing well on the other side of the Earth. Happy Thanksgiving to all, and we are missing all of you. Wish you were here.
