March 16, 2012

Hello Tehja and Taylor. Just five more days until spring – hooray for you guys. It doesn’t make much difference here because the weather is much the same all year round, and the amount of daylight we get is much the same all year round because we are close to the equator. No doubt you have noticed that these days, you are getting more and more daylight – more time to play outside!

On this Sweet 16 day, we played outside with our friends Jenn and Ralph from the yacht El Misti. They had just returned from a 3-1/2 month bicycle trip through Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. They cycled 7100 kilometres! Some nights they stayed in guest houses, but many nights they camped in their tent. We are pretty amazed at their accomplishment.

When we met up with them here in Nai Yang, we went for a swim in the sea and had a small picnic in the park. We invited them to stay on CanKata for the night, but they said they preferred to sleep in their tent. True campers.

We wonder if you cycled on March 16, and we wonder if you had a picnic. We wonder about you lots, not just on Sweet 16 days. And we love you ALWAYS.

We are still in Nai Yang
and we are still enjoying beautiful sunsets.

Nai Yang is close to the Phuket airport
and sometimes we get a good view of the jets landing.

We enjoyed watching some children playing on the
beach at the Nai Yang park.

The next day, we took the bus to Phuket town,
then when we got back to Nai Yang we had
milkshakes at the Dewa (where our apartment is).
Someday we'll do that with you!
