Pictures of our trip

Dec 28th
Had our coffee and took a walk down the beach...breezy and the temp was perfect about 70 degrees...came across a Thai man with two bamboo shelves and we asked him if they were for sale and he said yes and we bought two bamboo shelves for $30.00 just what I needed for the kitchen since there are no cabnets there...a few minutes later we hear him out side and he had brought two more so we bought one more for the side of the bed...it's all good...

This morning was an errand day to buy some comforting things for our little casita, so we walked to the street and got a song tao, which is a pick up truck with a roof over the back end and it has seats along the sides, inside for passengers...it cost us 50 baht which is like a dollar to get into the next little town to go shopping....the driving here is just crazy. I look to the sides as I would have to have a constant dose of Zanax to survive it...lol...it's all good!!! they drive in a constant flow, which is just great if you were raised doing so but from my perspective it is just scary....I have not seen an accident here, because as crazy as it is it all flows in chaotic poetry....everyone lets everyone cut in and it flows....don't see road rage here because they allow and flow where in the states we resist and don't allow and we're all stressed and there is no flow....with that said I still won't look out the front where you can see all this craziness...

We went to a place like Cosco and they had everything you can imagine, the best fresh fish and all kinds of seafood's, and no smell that is how fresh it all is...then we walked up the street to Tesco which is like a walmart here....got some more pillows and pretty fabrics to decorate our tiny little casita....we load everything into a cab and they bring us to the door of our little casista and the cab driver leaves with ken's backpack in his back seat, the driver totally unaware that it was there, Ken runs after him but he's gone, luckily Bon our massage lady was there waiting for us and I asked her to hop on her scooter and chase the driver, Ken hopped on the back with no shoes and no helmet and off they went on the chase...I was on the porch waiting for them to return, it took them 30 min, they had to chase him all the way back to the store he picked us up.....I see Ken and Bon return with the back pack, and Ken a bit shaken (Bond James Bond) lol...what an ordeal, I just listened to Ken as he told the story of holding on and closing his eye's as she speed to catch the taxi....Then after that whole ordeal we both had a massage then walked down the beach with Richard our new neighbor for a bite to eat, the dinner was garlic fried rice and egg rolls that were to die for and the cost was $6.oo for the both of us and I had a huge beer.......came home and installed our new DVD player we bought for $25.oo...Tomorrow we'll watch a movie on the Chakras and relax .....it's all good...

Dec 29th
Been waking up early here, about 6:30 am and having coffee and gaze lovingly at my husband who is just so happy to be here....we took a stroll down the beach to pick up our laundry from a Thai lady down the beach, she washed our cloths and ironed them for $3.00.....hey With those costs I don't need a washer / dryer here....one less thing I have to do and it helps her and I get to walk down the beach with my husband and count our blessings....we cleaned up the beach front in front of our private beach which was all over grown with weeds and old garbage...we reseated the cement table by the water's edge and added beach sand around the floor of the table so you can feel the beach sand as you set there and drink your coffee or do your online work..it's all good...I racked the sand so it looks real neat...Ken found coconuts along the beach and we made a row of them , I feel like Tarzan and Jane...lol...it's all good...been learning a new Thai word daily.... dee dee mock mock means it's all good....I have the locals saying it now...

Watched a DVD on the chakras that was so amazing...I must find out if I can order it here and see if I can make it available to you...it is a must see....so informative and done so well...we have decided when we return our day will start off with coffee, then a walk to the yoga class down the beach, breakfast , massage, then come home and watch a healing DVD to learn all we can on healing,meditation and continue our spiritual learning .....and what I find enlightening I will share it with you and you can experience our journey should you desire to follow in our foot prints...and learn what we learn....I'll be thrilled to share our adventure with you...
