| Jun, Shan, Will, and Max ready for an evening meal at the beach... To my palate, Thai food is potentially the hottest on the planet; however, if one avoids biting into the tiny red "blaster" peppers accompanying your soup to add to its incredible flavors, it's also the best on the planet. Fresh shrimp and octopus was always a part our meals. |
| On a great dive trip! Beautiful weather ruled the month of January. Max suited up for one of three spectacular dives this day. |
| One of the many beaches around Phuket.. You can find some teeming with people and on others it's just you, the sand, the surf, the sky, and solitude. |
| Lesley had begun her 4 week Winter English Camp in Tong-yong, South Korea so on January 3, 2002, I left alone for Phuket, Thailand. Will, Jun, and Shan picked me up at the airport, and I began what was to be a most wonderful and relaxing month in Thailand. |
