Phuket 05/10/2010

We flew down to Phuket today. Nice short flight. What do you know?
It's hot down here too, but at least there is a beach so you can do
something about it. Brandon and Vita came down with us too. I admit, I
have no idea how to spell her name, but Vita seems right. It sounds
like Veeta. No real adventures yet. Just came to the hotel, which is
directly across the street from the beach. Beach, tiny road, us. It's
$21 a night. Ahhhh Thailand. So we rested, then went and ate and
walked all the way up the beach. On the way back I finally took some
time and found a pair of swimming shorts I can handle. It seems these
days that swimming shorts are getting longer, thicker, and covered in
more and more embroidered logos. Most of the shorts here are some sort
of fully embroidered Ed Hardy crap that feel like they weigh 10 pounds
a pair. I am guessing they would stay wet for about 2 hours. Who wants
that? Why would the market demand such horrible shorts? Luckily I
found something much more minimal. Mostly I'm just happy to have
something so I can go get in the water now.

Here are some more iPhone pictures. The first one is tough to see, but
it was this funny little island we flew over that had clouds over it
in the same shape as the island. I know there is something that makes
that happen, but it's funny to see. One shot of the airplane after we
got off, and a shot of Cate still reading when we were waiting for the
taxi. She is such a cute little nerd. And then I just took a quick
shot of my new shorts. I just realized I talked quite a bit about
them, so I should at least put a visual reference to them. Nothing
amazing, just not Ed Hardy. That is the way all life should be...sans
Ed Hardy.
