At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used To Be)

* note. I'll post my Bangkok entries later, possibly. They aren't as interesting as these, however.

So, I'm at my house in Trang right now. Today, we woke up around 8, and headed off to the Chinese Shrine that is in town. It was awesome. I was able to light these insents, and we had to place them in specific places. The hot ash was super hot when it'd land on my feet- you need to be barefoot. Also, the smoke gave me a pretty bad headache, as smoke seems to always do. So that semi-sucked.
After we did that, we planted some Mangrove Trees. Fun fact: Trang was one of the only (if not the only) province that wasn't (badly) affected by the Tsuanmi because of these trees. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4547032.stm). What we did was we took a boat from a pier- about a half hour from the house that I'm at, and then we found a spot. Apperently, the queen has started a project here, that has to do with planting them to save lifes.
After that, we went down to this really awesome cave. If we had any doubt if my surgery fixed my knees, it is ALL gone now. The cave was just intense, and I fell a couple of times in the mud. Good thing I was wearing my black suit. I can't even begin to explain how pretty the cave is, so I'll show you pictures.

We then went to the beach, which was fun, and I almost died because the current was reallyyyy strong, and it was SO windy, so that was interesting, but fun. the water made hawaii feel cold.

anyway. i'm so tired. that's all for now.
