that's me

I just spent a good chunk of time uploading pictures, so I'm just gonna be brief again, and I'll cover more ground when we blog again in the next couple of days.

Tarutao was amazing. Deserted... unspoilt... wild... exactly what we had hoped for from that island. And now we're on Lipe, which is kind of what we'd hoped Railay would be. Mellow, sleepy vibe, but still some stuff to do, and places to go hang out in the evenings. I would call it the "Chiang Mai of the South Andaman" if anybody wouldn't think I was a total douche-bag for saying something like that. We spent last week camping on our own little stretch of beach, hiking around amongst monkeys and monitor lizards during the day, and swimming with the phosphorescent algae in the evening. And we've spent the last couple of days snorkelling, sunbathing, reading, and playing beach volleyball.

Next stop: Koh Lipe, where we're going to SCUBA dive, or maybe even take a course and get certified to dive on our own. Between now and then, I'll get my thoughts together and give y'all some more highlights and details about our last 2 weeks.

Thanks
