So we have traveled all the way across Thailand and found ourselves in heaven. After meeting up with my sister, Wren, and my nephew, Jamas, we have taken a ferry across a small stretch of the Gulf of Thailand to rest, recoup and relax in the sun and sands of Ko Samet. This island is a postcard for paradise. We have found ourselves in a small grass hut with the ocean, literally, right out our front doorstep. Though there are many white sand stretches of resort areas, Charlie put in the extra effort and walked beach after beach until he found a small family-run bungalow operation with a private bay and the biggest, best turquoise waves to body surf and swim in. And we have posted up. Our days consist of playing soccer on the beach and soaking up the very potent rays of sunshine. Time has slowed and we are in island mode- no worries to speak of. We might stay here a few more days, move to an even more secluded island toward Cambodia, Ko Mak, where another
Aunt and Uncle of mine are staying. Then we suppose we will take a boat to Cambodia and move along the beach, slowly, for a while. The waves wash right up to the many dinner cafe's on the beach, and paper lanterns glow softly along the shoreline. This is truly an Asian dream like neither of us have ever experienced.
We are safe and happy, as usual, and we are sending much love to all of you.
Sincerely,
Oriana and Charlie

hey, guys, finally figured this out. your blogs are fabulous, and your photographs- spectacular. i agree with lynda that this blog thing is a relief. initially i worried some about you making this trip. being able to see and "hear" what you're doing makes me want to be there. i do hope you are both journaling... you could write a book. hope you stay safe and well. love to you both.
i miss you, but am so glad you are having the adventure of a lifetime.
love, again,
mom
I am so envious. Your pics were fabulous, please send more. I miss not being able to talk to you. The river looked a little scary, but you guys looked like pros.
Abbey and Clark were here over the holidays with the baby and are leaving tomorrow to go back to Europe. They send they're love and will be following your adventures as well. I have been following your travels on the map and trying to imagine with your writings what you are experiencing.
Unbelievable
All is well in Texas. Boaring in comparison.
Deborah and I send our love
Be safe and take care of each other
Dad
