acclimating....

Wow, we finally found an internet place that's both high-speed and has firefox loaded. And is airconditioned since the mornings here are totally brutal before the afternoon monsoon rain cools things off. Rich is at another terminal stuggling to make Windows do what he wants with respect to loading up some of our pictures.

I think we're finally getting over jetlag, although we did get up without an alarm at 7 am (although most places are still closed at that time). It's been really nice to be in a place with which we have some familiarity while walking around like sweating zombies. We've spent the last couple of days eating, getting massages and wandering around town doing minor shopping. We went to the temple of the reclining buddha, which I believe is the final major tourist attraction in Bangkok that we hadn't yet done.

Right now it's tourist low season now, and friut high season, both of which are great and the opposite of our last trip here. The lychees are phenomenal and rambutan are 50 cents a kilo. Hopefully Rich will be able to post a picture of the fruit market.

Tonight we take a train down south and head to Koh Tao, where we'll hopefully do some scuba. No more posts for a while, internet on islands tends to be excruciatingly slow. Next post will probably be from Malaysia!
