Today was perhaps the laziest, do-nothing day of the trip. It was great. Breakfast lying down again in the beach bungalow, with the elephant roaring down the way. I'm digging the "lie-down" meals, and I think it's something US restaurants should adopt.
Now, I've received feedback that I'm complaining about Thai culture perhaps too much, but this is something that just needs to be said: I have literally gone the last month with repeatedly banging my head into everything. All doorways, restaurants, hotel roofs, and the number one culprit: bathrooms. I know Thais are constucting things for themselves, but not kidding, I drew blood on my skull today. OK, I'm done ranting. For the past 2 weeks, Terri has been taping our luggage tags to all the bathroom doorways, and for the most part, I'm good. But if Santa is listening, I'd like a CT Scan for Christmas to make sure I've got enough neurons left to go back to work. If not, that's OK too. In that case, please include winning Lotto tickets in my stocking. Cookies will be out for ya.
After catching a tuk-tuk to find some scenic spots on the island, the rest of the day was spent napping, getting massages on the beach, and enjoying a dinner on the beach at night. The food here is very good, there's a million places on the water to choose from (tables literally feet from the water), and a dinner for 2 (with drinks), will run around $6 or $7 US. And this is on the high range of places we've been in Thailand. Going out to eat back home will be tough...
