The Silver Lining

For those of you who keep up with this thing, today is your lucky day (chok dee!) as this is my third post in the past few hours. I am *delighted* to report that while my camera may have suffered it's fatal blow in the murky jungle waters, the SIM card was saved, along with all of my pictures from Khun Ratana's house, the nicer pictures of Ben and I's jungle ride and a few right after I fell in. I'll keep the commentary short, since my "Top 10" post was quite long, but for now enjoy the pictures, I know I did!

Lauren and her new pool. Sweet digs.

Yeah, that's a slide, and yeah, I went down it.

Views of the King's Bridge from Khun Ratana's terrace.

The ladies at dinner.

Ben and Sommai chat over goblets of wine.

A spread Aunt True and Ford would have been proud of. Ratana's showing me "what not to eat", as she waves her hands over all of the sauces.

Pung's plate looks like the ocean threw up.

Ben drinks the clam blood. Mmmm.

Seng's relaxing, Seng is the newest housemate at Soi 14.

Ben and Khun Usanee eat all the clams Poi prepared because they're high in iron.

Pung and Khun Ratana hanging out.

Eat more seafood.

Cheers.

See my arm?

The bridge by night.

Ben and Alex take to the jungle : CHECK.

Cruisin'.

Views from the tower in the jungle park.

Ben looks out at the nature.

The salvaged classic Alex face.

And to sum it up, a favorite line from a favorite Shakespearian character:

Fie, how my bones ache! what a jaunt have I had! (Nurse, Romeo & Juliet)
