Hello from Hammonds Plains

Well it is 2:00 a.m. on Wednesday and here I am down in the basement on the computer wide awake. I think that trying to adjust to the time change is going to take me a little longer than I thought. I forced myself to stay awake all day today and when I went to bed at 10:00 I fell right asleep. Woke up at midnight and here I am, still awake. I decided to be productive with the time and have downloaded all of my pictures and will put some up here. The top picture on the left is one of the signs that was posted all over the beach on the little Island called Koh Pu that we went to for two nights. The middle picture shows the "cabin" that we slept in on the island. Note the open windows. They stayed open like that all night for the air because it was so hot. I think that I had a visitor on the second night that came through the window or maybe over the wall in the bathroom. I think that it was a monkey. When I heard the noise in the bathroom it woke me up and it must have scared him away. I found my watch on the bathroom floor. I think he may have been carrying it off. Yes, I was scared!

The next picture shows the bed with the mosquito netting and the final picture is the bathroom. Note the lack of real walls. The next picture is of the beach on the Island. We had it completely to ourselves and it didn't rain until the second day. Fun getting out over the muddy roads to get to the wharf to get off the Island. The next to last picture is of a restaurant in Phuket where we stopped for lunch the day we did a tour. It was raining hard so we could not eat out on the patio we had to eat in under the roof. That day one of the dishes we had was deep fried seaweed. Not bad actually. The last picture shows the boat we went in our first day in Bangkok for a river tour of the city. The engine on these boats is a truck motor.

Okay I must go to bed and try to get some sleep. Will update more later.
