Anita’s Birthday Dinner

Had dinner in Brookline to celebrate Anita’s birthday. Great time and great weather.

Cuervo Games Boston

Here are pics from my camera for yesterday’s Cuervo Games in downtown Boston. I joined team Red’s Army in the blog/media category. We didn’t win (didn’t even get to finish the final event because they ran out of time) but had a great time, and made up for it w/ free drinks & apps at the bar afterwards.

Other people were also taking photos, and I’ll try to get a copy of those and upload them as well.

On Friday, Brett and I watched Inception at the IMAX in Natick. It was amazing, and I’m going to see it again soon.

After that, we drove down to the Cape and spent the weekend with Dad & Deb.

Experimenting with the blogging service Posterous. They make it pretty easy to quickly publish a photo blog post.

We went to Chatham this past weekend and I took some pics on Saturday as we walked through the woods around Schoolhouse Pond.

On February 13th we departed the Phi Phi islands and began the long journey home. I snapped a few pics on our first of two ferry trips and during our changeover at Tonsai bay, the main town on Koh Phi Phi Don.

Thailand 11 – Koh Phi Phi Don

1 Reply

From Phuket we took the ferry to Koh Phi Phi Don, larger of the Phi Phi islands, and the only one that is inhabited. We stayed at a hotel (The Holiday Inn) on Laem Tong Beach, a few miles from the main town of Tonsai. This part of the island was much more remote & secluded, with a just handful of resorts and a couple local restaurants on the beach.

It was a gorgeous location, and the island (running north-south) was so narrow here that we were able to see both sunrise and sunset from our hotel property.

Thailand 11 – Phuket

Leave a reply

After Chiang Mai, we flew to Phuket, spending one night before our early-morning ferry to the Phi Phi islands. We stayed at one of the smaller beach towns, Kamala, which was nice, but still sort of crowded.

Overall Thailand is an incredibly friendly country, but Phuket seemed to be a bit less so than the other places we visited. This is probably because it attracts so many tourists, many of whom treat it as a typical party/beach vacation and aren’t really interested in the culture. As a result, the locals can’t help but become a bit more standoffish.

Thailand 10 – Elephant Camp

Leave a reply

Formerly logging camps, these have been converted over to nature preserves / tourist attractions. The elephants do seem to be treated well & are happy. One reason may be because they are paired for life with a single trainer, resulting in a strong bond between the two. We rode an elephant and then watched them perform various tricks such as playing soccer and painting. After that we were able to feed & interact with them, which was probably the best part.

After the flower parade we joined Tom & Janet to go to a Thai cooking class. We first went to the market and learned about various Thai foods and ingredients. After making our purchases, we walked to the cooking school and learned how to make some typical dishes including soups, stir fries, curries, and dessert.
