craaaaazy shapes. looks like peter pan and smee dropping off tiger lily. story soon to come... or maybe i will just write it and read it to eliza, which she loves.
so check this face out. this is a monkey. yes. a monkey. i saw a MONKEY.
can you see how he's raising one eyebrow? how is it that they look so human? i got close to take photos and then one started loping towards me and grabbed at my shoe. having been warned about rabid thai animals and having heard horror stories about the 7 shots to the stomach i must receive if i am bit by any animal here, i ran for my life, not sure if his teeth were after my foot, or his little monkey hands were after my camera. either are entirely possible.
this was at the pier while waiting for my boat to koh yao yoi on thursday. i went to the only high school on the island for an assembly, which is where i found my story. i'll stick to newspaper protocol here and not give information away until the story is published. but its crazy. the craziest thing i've ever worked on for sure, i know because my coaches were laughing out loud in disbelief at my photos tonight.
i stayed with a family involved in the ecotourism program on the island. they keep a room open for visitors with a mattress and a mosquito net and they feed me lots and lots of food. they're really nice and the mosquito net is very exotic (and practical). i kind of want one when i go home.
thai BABIES!
they train them young... all babies who are able MUST do this to any adult. its so precious.
yo grrrl wut up

my host family... saa is on the right, i am the shiniest i have ever been in my life, and we are making omlets and fish and chicken and rice. i ate this every single day, and will eat it again every single day next week.
goodnight!

Hi Abby.
The book club ladies had a great time in Wilmington. Why doesn't your mom get sunburned??
So, I was wondering why you are wearing a head covering, but these ladies aren't...
Hey,
The monkey you shot is clearly a TPM (Thai "Photo Monkey") and they are placed strategically on islands by the government for touristic purposes. You didn't mention any tipping, thus the attack. They will accept local currency, Euros & of course Visa/Mastercharge. What were you thinking.
