Fun in the (sometimes) Sun

Greetings from Erik and Katie both! (SoliDuding is suspended for another 4-5 days...). Here's a picture of us from tonight eating (waaay too much...) at our new favorite restaurant Papaya on Koh Phi Phi. Today was the first truly sunny day we've had and Katie capitalized on it by getting totally sun burnt. That's making efficient use of her short visit! (We also look so shiny because, as is the custom here, we are sweating, and because we just both got oil massages. mmm, daily massages....). Yesterday was a good one too. We took an all-day boat cruise with snorkeling, swimming and kayaking. We thought the weather was great because it only looked like it was going to rain the whole day, but never really did. While snorkeling we saw a cute sea turtle, a (big!) jelly fish with long (scary!) tentacles and some (cute!) Nemo fish and many other colorful fish and corrals. And Katie even hand fed some monkeys pineapple on Monkey Beach....until they tried to steal our kayak, at which point we fled...Tomorrow we are splitting up. Oh, we mean we are doing different things. Erik is going scuba diving (hopes to see a whale shark!) and Katie is taking a Thai cooking class (hopes to make a mean green curry!). That's about it from us for now. Hope y'all are well and we'll talk to you later....
