I want to remind all of you who are reading my blog that I am uploading LOTS of photos to my website.

Also, I will try to keep my blogs shorter and hopefully sweeter so you will actually read them.

I am in Koh Sok, which was tsunami ground zero here in Thailand. Many destroyed lives. Nearly 5 thousand in this area alone. There are a few huge boats still on the far side of the highway. There are many new fancy bungalows being built at break-neck speed. There are only fat German tourists here. The dive shops, which are many, are all owned by Germans. The only reason to come here is to dive or be lazy in a fancy new resort on the beach. I came here on a whim(and an invite from my friend Nicole) to dive the Simlian Islands, which I heard are fantastic. They were. I will write about it later. I didn’t have any underwater housing for my camera, so don’t expect many photos…

PS. REMINDER: I am going to Burma in a few days, hopefully, and will NOT be able to send/receive emails nor post to this blog for the entire month that I am there. So don’t WORRY about me. Just pretend I’ve gone to a distant planet for a month. I will return to Earth some time in mid February.
