A Study of Hair Volume in Southeast Asia: Bungalows....

Sarah and I have learned several things in Ko Samet (which has been absolutely lovely):

"Bungalow" can mean many many different things. For example, it can mean the incredibly adorable little hut with the porch and rocking chairs that overlooks the ocean. It can also mean the little box about a 15 minute walk up the mud hill with holes in the screens and a construction site next door. You neeeever know.
Sometimes....hotel that makes no claim of a beach view>>bungalow.
Dogs that live on Ko Samet are probably the happiest in the world. Their schedule consists of eating scraps people give them at the beachside cafes, Taking a nap in the shade of the unused beach umbrellas, eating lunch scraps, taking a cool down swim in the ocean, dinner scraps, and watching the sun set in a little ball in the sand.
Fruit is definitely still delicious.

We've spent two full days here....mostly reading on the beach. There's a hostel type thing that's popular with backpackers that serves a great breakfast. We've gone and had our daily coffee and eggs, but THIS morning I discovered the banana breakfast sandwich. They apparently bake all their own bread, so they take a couple slices of that....put some bananas and cinnamon on it, and then grill it until it's gooey goodness. I will sorely miss it. The island has been nice. It's an interesting mix of Thai people, European families, and backpackers. Also, the water is a color I don't think I've seen before. Sarah and I came to the conclusion that it's decidedly not Caribbean colored....more of a muted jade green.

Tomorrow we're taking a bus back to Bangkok and then hopefully an overnight train to Chiang Mai. We're hoping to set up shop there for awhile.

As always, miss you and hope you're all doing well :)

PS. Saltwater has taken my hair down to medium huge.
