We don't have to much to talk about. We have been able to watch Fox News a bit and it is nice to be able to know what is happening in the world. Actually it isn't very nice to know. All the rioting about cartoons, bird flu scares and landslides don't make for happy viewing. Butwhen we get sick of the news, we turn over to the olympics. But we have yet to see any events where the United States has won anything. Plus there is no handy dandy box that gives you a running update on how many medals the US has. It just isn't as fun when you don't get to cheer for your country. we also look out the window at our beautiful view a lot. Here is the sunset we saw last night.
We have been buying some fruit here though it is dissapointingly expensive. This is Mangosteen and we bought it on our dear friend Danelle's suggestion.
Here is my thumbnail making the initial incision:
It doesn't turn out as well when I try to open it.
The lady who opened one for us to try at the fruit stand made it look SO easy! SHe just broke it right open.Here I finally get it open to display the yummy fruit inside. You only eat the white part:
I know it looks like a nut but it is not crunchy at all. It has the consistancy of a grape mixed with a necterine. It tastes like that too I think. Anyway, it is pretty good. Thanks for the suggestion Danelle.Tomorrow we might be going on a tour of Phi Phi island (pronounced peepee, I giggle everytime) where part of the movie "The Beach" was filmed. We will make sure to take lots of pictures for your viewing pleasure and we promise to have a good post up about it.
Thank you for all your comments! We miss you all!

Jason, sorry your sick. Hope you recover very soon. The view looks beautiful.
Have you planned an elephant excursion through the jungle? It would make a great photo-op for those of us in the boring US!
Love ya.
After all you've been through I think sitting in a hotel room for a couple of days sounds like a good idea. At some point you gotta rest up for your next adventure! Hope you get back to 100% real quick, Jason. It's no fun to be sick while travelling. I know because it frequently happens to me when I travel.
Try lycees as well. They are soooo good. They're not quite as messy as the mangosteens and are much easier to open.
We had some beautiful snow here this weekend and the coldest weather we've had all winter. One morning while your dad was sitting at his computer he watched a turkey walk up the steps of the deck and come right up on the deck. It looked in the glass door at him then walked back down the steps.
We had lunch with Fenners on Sabbath. It was fun talking about your adventures.
Have fun resting up for your next adventure. Love you dearly. Ann
Everyone,
Thanks for being so concerned about my illness. I am happy to report that I am much better now though, so please don't worry anymore.
Dad,
We plan on going elephant trekking in Northern Thailand. We think it will be cheaper there.
Everyone again,
Thanks for reading, we enjoy your comments.
Phil,
We will be in contact with you about your friend in South Africa. It might be nice if we could stay with her before, after, or before and after Lesotho.
