island life i know i have been bad about making post but really cant afford to say much while trying to send out emails. the trip is amazing and the pics will come i promise, waitin for a rainy day when there is not much else to do and i can finally show you guys the adventure and journey so far.
until then...........

well what can i say, paradise doesnt explain this place god has put on earth. yestday i took a boat ride around to the nearby islands, wow is all i can say. went to bamboo island, past mosiquito island, over to some great snorkeling spots, then to monkey beach, and finally to phi phi ley, spot where the movie "beach" was filmed, i cant tell you how amazing it was will just have to look at the pics when i get home, i have already filled a 2g memory card and about 125 pics filled on my 1g, so i will have plenty i promise.

today i woke and went on a hike to the peak of the island we stay on phi phi don, from the top which almost killed me hiking with no bug spray, no sun screen, no water, sandels and hottest part of the day, yeah i know i am an idiot, but it was perfect. even more than i expected, got the view i see on all the post cards around here, pretty sweet no doubt.
seen some really sad things thou, spoke with the locals and went to the tsunami memorial, makes you think about how special life is in this place pretty much in the middle of no where. there were the names of all those who died, pictures showing all the devastion, so sad, hard to believe now though, not much remains but there is still lots of debri left behind on the sides of some of the footpaths, dont know if i mentioned or not, no cars on this island, walk everwhere and travel by boat, i am loving that after being in a city like hongkong.

each day i wake it feels kinda like groundhog day, yeah i know its not so bad, pretty perfect really expect the fact i do miss the loved ones back home. tomorrow i think i may try and make it to the other side of the island was told that its a hard trek but i am not much for laying on the beach all day, need some action in my life, we shall see though, i have time. not sure how long i will stay around here for, wanted to see the north, chang mai but after living island life its hard to leave. thinking of maybe traveling to other islands about 2 hours by ferry closer to cambodia and then back to bangkok to meet noah on nov. 4th, time will tell i guess.  ¶ 9:20 AM
