Lazy Days

We know we should be doing stuff to take advantage of our time here. The weather has been perfect. There are things we could do. There’s a Floating Market to see. There’s more beach to discover. There’s elephants to ride just across the street from our hotel. There’s other tourist attractions we could check out but here’s what we’ve been doing.

Ha ha. We just love our little studio apartment so much. It’s relatively quiet. The view is relaxing. Here is our view from the balcony.

We’ve loaded our books with interesting enough novels that keep us reading. We have food in the fridge. So we wake up, have coffee on the balcony and start reading. When we get hungry, we do breakfast or brunch. Then we read some more until lunchtime. We go out to grab a bite and buy a few provisions from the 7Eleven on the way back in the blazing sun. Then we have a lazier afternoon with napping and reading until dinnertime. Go out to a handful of our “usual” restaurants where good food can be had for a good price. Comment on some interesting couples during dinner (the older European man with the Thai lady). Come home and watch some tv. Such wonderful lazy days!

Today, we actually had something we needed to do today. We went to pick up our graduation certificates from the cooking school.

Oh yeah, the other wonderful thing here. There are drug stores everywhere and we can get the medicines we need easily since the pharmacists speak English. Don has been fighting a cold so we just stopped in at one and got some very reasonably priced drugs. Coming from a place where we are afraid to buy anything, this has been an unexpected comfort. I’ll have to make sure I fill up before we go.

We have a few more days left here but funny enough we don't feel any pressure to do any touristy things. Go figure.

More later. J xo
