Krabi

Yes, I was feeling Krabi. We just got back and we’ve not been anywhere outside the island for a while. It was quite wonderful! The motorcycle rental was 150 baht per day and we got to drive out to the Tiger Cave temple where they have these 1300 something steps to climb to the temple. I make it to about 5 or 6 hundred and could barely get back down. I wanted a stronger motorcycle after the first time but “no have.” 8(. The jellyfish were out in droves and I was afraid to go in the water much of the time around there. I mean hundreds of them both small and large everywhere like a minefield. I think I need to get stung a few times to get over my extreme fear. Every person we met got stung and I had never seen a jellyfish before but those huge blossoms in the water and in my goggles when swimming next to them was something else. Ethan got stung and was fine and he even held one up for the camera (see gallery). They have a nice Swensons in Krabi town which almost killed my bizarre recent chocolate kick. Thailand is just about the most beautiful place on earth. Really!

X-Men Over the Hedge

We’ve been seeing quite a few movies lately. X-Men today (sneak peek before it’s release tomorrow) and was dissapointed. The guy who makes the trailers should get a medal for making this one look so good. Over the Hedge was shockingly wonderful and funny. Poseidon lacked any development of empathy for the characters so I just waited for them to hurry up and die. The DaVinci Code, however, had me just waiting for it to get over with – The shock of the season, as I’d been anxiously waiting for this one for quite some time (a HUGE medal for the trailer guy on this stinking pile of boredom).
