THE BEACH!!!!!






What more can i say other then "paradise," I"m getting some pics up by popular demand, Internet here is pretty slow and expensive so its tough getting up as much stuff as I want to on the blog.

We arrived here in Tonsai and instantly fell in love with this place. the ocean here is so warm which makes for some great swimming even in the middle of the night as we did a few days ago. It was quiet amazing cause the moon is almost full so as we were swimming we could see the plankton light up as we swam through them. It was a pretty great welcoming down to the beaches here. there's endless routes here for climbing which makes these gorgeous beaches even better. There are hundreds of routes with in a 2 or 3 mile radius. and at night in Tonsai a small restaurant shines a spot light on the face of the rock and can climb well into the night if you please. we've been living it up here in the sun since we've been here in Tonsai. we took a snorkeling tour to four different Islands which all had pristine white sand beaches, and some pretty wild snorkeling. As T and shawny climb Greg and I go off and discover new beaches, caves, and girls this place really has a ton to do and still feels like you can relax all day on the beach if you want to. We're planning on going deep sea soloing. which is such a rad thing out here its a pretty famous place for it, check it out on youtube or something. not being able to climb is a pretty hard pill to swallow(broken Foot) here on tonsai, but I 'm still excited to watch T and Shawny take some pretty good falls on these cliffs into the water. watching a climbing movie called"first accent" really made me want to come to Thailand and climb these amazing cliffs, bitter sweets really tasting bitter but motivates me to return and experience the climbing on another trip. Greg went home today so were moving into tents that are set up by a business called green valley and we'll be saving a ton of money for the next couple of weeks on lodging. we've also found some pretty amazing food here in Tonsai, we've all became food critics and finding the best dish seems to be a competition for us. It's pretty funny because were always finding the best of what ever were having in this new city.which probably just because the foods been amazing everywhere we've ate on this trip. take care.

Wow man. You are probably the luckiest person alive right now. You have seen and experienced some really amazing things. I'll be honest, I kind of hate reading your blog. BUT thats because I'm seriously so jealous that I get physically sick after reading about all of it. its always been my dream to go to Southeast Asia and here you are, living my dream. How the heck is that fair? But I'm glad that you are sharing this experience with others. Keep living the dream man, keep living the dream!
