We are now in Krabi Thailand after an amazing time in Songkhla with Blake and island hoping in Li Pei.  Songkhla was a crazy culture shock.  We spent our days feeding wild monkeys and watching them have wild monkey sex and spent our nights hanging out with the local bar flies (prostitutes) and watching them work their magic on Blake.  Girls who were exactly our age if not younger worked at these bars for a living traveling from bar to bar to find the western men.  While playing pool with them, they seem like any other girl that we could have went to college with, and possibly even became really good friends with.  We went swimming our last night in the ocean after a drunken night of bar hopping. 

We stayed on the island of Li Pei for about three days and was seriously considering staying for a week.  we spent most of our days snorkeling, sleeping under the shaded trees and getting fed sticky rice and fried chicken by sea gypsie, hanging out with the manager of the Reggea Bar, watching fire dancing and listening to Thai Reggea at night...and meeting local islanders.  But the journey must continue so we forced ourselves to pack our bags and move on.  We are heading to a small village, not even listed on any maps, to work at the orphange.  Theres no numbers to call and all we have is the name of the school and a contact person name Ted.  Its a donated orphanges and volunteers are welcome to just drop by and stay as long as they want.  We will stay there for two weeks and then figure out a way to extend our visas so we can stay in Thailand longer. 

with much love!
until next time
