we may not come home.


overlooking hong kong.
victoria's peak.


and though hong kong was a terribly efficient, grand city to visit, we prefer thailand.
this morning we rose at 5:00 am and sat alone on the beach.
it seems that everything here moves slotwly.
the waves lap at a lesiurely pace.
the sun creeps slowly over the pitons and lights up the limestone green water.
the minutes drip by (thankfully) that we think we've been here for days.
it must be the humidity weighing everything (and everyone) down.
even the natives move slowly, unless of course they're touting for your baht.

speaking of baht...
the resort is a little pricey compared to typical thai faires,
but we really can't complain:
massages: $9
lunch: $4
taxi ride to town: $3
(but we don't really love town, just our private beach and bungalow)

Dear Noelle,

I am so glad you are enjoying your trip. I hope the political unrest is held at bay, but if not, you know which Congressional staffer you may contact should you come under any sort of distress.

p.s. please move to D.C. Thanx.
