hello everyone. this will have to be super short cause email on the beach is 4 times more expensive than elsewhere so ill write short. we are on railay beach and its great. the sun is hot, water is warm and the cliffs are high and steep. beautiful. but we are NOT going to climb! haha. (for those that dont know railay is preemo climbing) a couuple reasons. first, we have no gear and rental is silly. (i think we have moral quams against renting climbing stuff) second, deep water soloing is pricy to rent a boat for the day, and third, i accidentally kicked a step and got a big gnarly flapper on the tip of my toe. so all and all, we are just going to chill and snorkel. oh and we found this slack line out over the water between two islands that you have to swim to and ive been trying that. holy crap i havent gotten my ass kicked on a line ever that bad. like everytime i land head first in the surf, then you have to swim back to the island and climb up the ropes and barnicalsto try again. after 8 attempts you're just exhausted! while ive been landing head first and floundering in the water, sam has been focusing on the sun and relaxing on the beach. wow its paying off. shes like 14 shades darker on the Sam Dark Scale! (trust me is alot) while shes getting browner our buddy joel from joshs work seems to be getting redder. man i feel sorry for the guy. 5th day in thailand and hes had to spend the last 2 in the house cause of the burn. shitty.

anyways things are great. thinking about heading south to koh phi phi and chrecking things out down there but well see. love you everyone. take care.
