I've worked for APIS for about 10 weeks and now I'm on 3 weeks paid vacation...not too bad!
The last of the boarding students left on Saturday. I'm eager to hit the beach for a few days. Abbey and I will leave in the morning with the schools art teacher and her two children. She is from Uzbekistan. Pat wants to ride his motorbike down and meet us. It's "only" a 12 hour ride. We fly to Bangkok and then ride 3 hours in a taxi to our hotel.
I love being by the ocean. The sound of the waves is hypnotic and relaxing. Also, I love swimming in the water ... what I don't realize is the water here is 84 degrees. That's quite warm .... And not very refreshing .... dang. This didn't stop me from going, I just go earlier in the morning. :)
This is Yokyo. He is 11 and in front of him is mini deep fried crabs. They only cost $1 but I couldn't get past one. You are supposed to eat the whole thing but they aren't that good. They sell all kinds of squid on sticks. Once you buy your selection they will grill it for you. I didn't partake in this for dinner or any other meal for that matter.

The pic above is of Muyassar and her son, Ilyos. This is the first time they've ever been to the beach. We got so sunburnt.

Pat joined us for a couple of days before we headed up to Bangkok to catch our flight to Hong Kong. It was hard to find a ride back to Bangkok that didn't leave at 5:30 a.m. So I decided I'd just ride the bike with Pat.
