Beetlejuice


We've been beetle free for almost a week now. We are in beautiful Prachuap Khiri Khan. We moved closer to town and are in a third floor hotel room that overlooks Ao Prachuap (Ao is pronounce Ow and is the Thai word for bay). We've had interesting weather. Windy, but hot if you got away from the water when we got here. On Scott's birthday (the 6th) we went for a walk to see the monkeys (yes, there are monkeys here) and anticipated it would begin to rain as the sky was black.

Apparently monkeys know more than humans, because there wasn't a one to be found. They knew to take shelter. We met two 18 year old Canadian boys who are teaching english at the local school on our way back. It was a complete downpour (some of the drops actually hurt when they hit), but we were so excited to talk to people who could speak english at length, that we stood in the rain with them for a half an hour and talked. One of them is from a little British Columbian town in the mountains that we have been to. He was surprised we knew of it.
