We had a lovely and quiet New Year's. We did get our sorry selves out of bed on New Year's morning just watch the sunrise (hatsu-hinode) - a significant 'event' here. We have not yet made our first visit to the shrine (hatsu-moode). Many people do this at midnight on the 31st, we typically do it at a local shrine on the morning of the 1st. We're a bit late this year!
Anyway, I'll post more tomorrow about our adventures in Thailand (including our 'real food' experience at a road-side restaurant near the Suvanabhumi airport!). For now, here are a few photos that we took on Koh Samet, the island that we called home for nearly two weeks:
The bungalow we stayed at for 1000 baht per night (hot running water and a sit-down toilet made it worth it!):
Grilling up some ribs in Na Dan:
Finally, two of us together (see mom, I'm not making him up:-)
Sunrise - every morning was nearly this great:
White wine on the rocks - literally!

Me, riding the small motorbike that burned me:-)
