Busy few days

 First off, we are safe and having a blast. We haven't spent much time slowing down to reflect and update the blog lately, but it goes without saying we are enjoying our time here. We are most definitately still foreigners, but each day it seems we are more recognizable and accepted by the local village. A simple thank you or good morning in Thai language or proper bow goes a long way here( that and remembering to remove your shoes just about everywhere). Yesterday we spent all day island hopping on a 33 ft catamaran with a captain and first mate. We all became good friends so they extended our trip and we watched the sunset from a really remote and iconic deserted island. They were really very cool people. I had never been on a sail boat, let alone a serious catamaran like this one. It could really move and was completely quiet despite the sound of gusting wind. Our friends shaun and christina left back for Singapore today.
