Stack 'em Tigers

What, you may ask, does that title mean? Rybot and I are in Ko Samui (Thailand, in case you're wondering). Been here two nights. We're off to Ko Phangan in about an hour. Boats and whatnot. Ko means island. Now we know.

So what has Thailand been like so far? The best way to describe it would be Stack 'em and Tiger beer. Stack 'em, of course, being the budget version of Jenga. And R. and I are pro Jenga players. You would be amazed. Aside from Stack 'em, we've also played Connect 4 and Scrabble. I am the ultimate Jenga master. And Ryan won the Scrabble... only because the first time we played, we didn't keep score. Otherwise I would have won. I think that means he cheated. Yeah. Cheater.

So all they do in Thailand is play family-minded games? No... we've done some yoga by the beach. Swam in the ocean. Went and saw the Big Buddha. Walked the streets and explored. Spent much time in our hammock (knitting). Eaten some great curries. Had amazing watermelon juice. Annnndddd... Ryan attempted to teach me how to play pool. At Club 44. This hut with only 2 walls, a bar, some flashing christmas-type lights, CCR playing on the radio and some laughing happy people. We gave up the pool for Stack 'em and Tiger beer. Which is where I started.

Alright. Well Ryan just returned from exploring. And I'm paying 60 baht for an hour on this thing. Talk to you soon folks and kiddies. Love love.x -n.
