SEA: Day 84 – Railay Rock Climbing

Title says it all! I went rock climbing today. First time going outside on real rocks. Views and experience was amazing. Terrifying if you looked down, but amazing nonetheless. I signed up for a climb with Real Rock via their website. Pretty simple and straight forward. My instructor, Andy, was really cool. His girlfriend came along with us and she’s actually just as good if not better than him. Note: Now that I’m thinking about it, I’m not sure if my instructor’s name was actually Andy. I’m writing this at my homie’s, Andy, spot, so I might just be mixing things up.

Besides rock climbing, I spent a lot of time on the beach as well, when it wasn’t raining anyways. As much as I saw the beach, I still really enjoyed walking down the coast feeling the sand on my feet.

I love this view.

SEA: Day 83 – Crabby in Krabi

I wasn’t crabby in Krabi. I just wrote that title for some reason. It should probably say “Happy and Carefree in Krabi” but that doesn’t rhyme. Wait…. “happy” and “Krabi” rhyme, right? Okay. Happy in Krabi. OH. How about “Happily Carefree Krabi?”. I think that works. That’s what we’re going to go with. That’s the new title.

All I can think right now, is how hard it is to write everyday. I’m a broken recorder cause I know i’ve said this before, but kudos to writers who can pump out material every single day. It is impressive. I even have a topic to write about everyday, but it is still a struggle.

I’m opening my computer and writing anyways. Because one day, out of all the garbage that I write, there will come a gem. Even if it’s just one sentence, I’m going to be damn proud when that happens.

I actually hung out with a couple Thai people this day. It was nice cause they took me to the Krabi Town Market and ordered lots of random stuff for me to try. It was all very good and I couldn’t tell you what it was. It seems to me that I often run into times where I’m not really sure what to eat so I trust a local, and it ends up being bomb. I’m not sure how i’d react if the recommended dish wasn’t good, and even worse, if I couldn’t even finish it. Would I just choke it down? …. I don’t know. Assuming it wasn’t something I was allergic to, I think I’d eat… maybe. Let’s find out one day.

One thing I’ve started to do a lot on the last days of my trip was to watch baseball. It’s taken over a lot of my time. That and spending time on the waiver trying to rack my brain on who to pick up. Fantasy baseball was so important to me for some time. I worry about it a lot less now. I still wish I had won that championship last year. Maybe this is the year?

SEA: Day 82 – Rain Rain Go Away

Today was ferrying day over to Krabi! Unfortunately, it was raining during most of the afternoon, so I was stuck indoors for majority of the day. I was okay with this since I was using this last week to totally unwind from traveling. I sat on my balcony and watched it rain down into the hotel pool for awhile, which was really relaxing.

It didn’t rain in the morning though! I did get to walk around on the beach for just a bit and caught this girl enjoying her walk kicking the water. It was cute.

Hi-ya!
