Photo/Video Update

Tomorrow is my last day on Koh Samuii. Saturday morn I fly back to Bangkok, where I'll spend two nights. Then Monday morning I'm on a plane to Paris, then Washington D.C., then Atlanta, and then Los Angelos. From there I'll drive home with an old buddy, stopping to see the sights along the way north.

I miss home very much. I especially miss my sons and a friend or two in particular... but I also simply miss my church, my bed, my home.

Jeremiah says he is having trouble sleeping, and I know he is anxious. I need to be there.

Toiday was a lot of fun, and here are some of the sights from today.


I went with Dad on another motorcycle ride around the higher peaks of the island. Very beautiful.


"Hellooooooo Daaaahling! You want some gasoline and a shake?"

I stopped by again today and had Paline create a shake of mixed Thai fruits.

"Well... Dahling... I just bought all I need to do haircutting. You want to be my first customer? You bring me luck! I do good job. Make you look young and handsome! Trim you hair. Trim you beard, Dahling. You pay whatever you like Dahling!"

So I got a haircut. What do you think? Am I now young and handsome?

Thai Turtle

Ants

Spotted these guys in the forest. Not that this isn't a two way trek of ants gathering food. They are all travelling in the same direction, and this is the end of the line. Some are carrying things, others aren't. They disappeared into the bush in a very determined fashion.

Tiger

The tiger show was pretty amazing. I can certainly appreciate this fellow's nervousness!

Hornbill

This guy flew back and forth so many time right between Dad and I. Each time he passed we both felt his feathers. were cooled by his wind.

Otters are just plain cute!

As this trip draws to a close I have so many mixed feelings, wonderful experiences... I've seen beauty and kindness and good and evil and just too much to describe quickly...

This was today.
