Speed Boat Tour in Thailand Part II

The speed boat tour in Thailand was so fantastic! I just couldn't fit it all into one blog posting. Here are some fun pictures of the girls on the boat:

 Ally and Emma, looking a little uncomfortable in those jackets.

Look at those braids! 

 These are two cool dads!

The canoes that we took were really fun. We tooted around and saw some neat caverns.

We went to a Muslim village which is built completely over the water. It is home to about 1500 people who survive on tourism. We ate lunch there and then walked around looking at shops. We were accosted by a lady with a monkey who wouldn't let us leave without taking pictures - and of course, giving her some money.

Lunch - left us all a little hungry....

More of the Muslim Village.

We left our resort rather early - before 8 am - and spent the entire day on the boat. By the time we finished lunch (the heat was so stifling that I actually felt a little sick during lunch) we were all pretty tired. We got back on the boat and headed out to an island to swim and relax. Everyone on the boat fell asleep.

For some reason, Ally and Eve never fall asleep!

Lee took this picture to emphasize the Diet Coke I managed to find....and ice....

This was an island beach, only reachable by boat. The whole beach was lined with tourist boats.

The whole day was phenomenal! We had such a great time and saw so many fun things. I think that Thailand should be included among the MUST DO's in life. One must get married, to enjoy the deep commitment and companionship that comes from promising your life to someone else. One must have children, to experience service in it's purest form. One must have a commitment to God, to experience the pure joy that comes from dedicating your life to follow the Savior... and finally (but certainly not most important), one must visit Thailand, to experience a real tropical paradise!!!

This doesn't even look real! Fabio took this picture and then played around with it. Pretty neat, huh?
