Ko Samui

Ko Samui is a small island in Thailand where 25% of the population is European, mostly retirees.  We headed to Cheweng Beach which was beautiful.  Brian swam and I waded in the water which was shallow for a long ways, warm and full of fish.  We had lunch at Tropical Murphy.  Imagine that, Brian found an Irish Pub in Thailand!  It was a really relaxing day and the weather was great though at times a bit hot.  The humidity is high, about 85% but with a breeze it was super.  Most of the homes had "spirit houses" in front of them which look like highly decorated bird houses but are used to keep evil spirits from entering their homes.  They added a lot of color along the road.  Tomorrow is our last sea day and then we head for Singapore for a couple of days.  I'm really looking forward to going there because there is so much to see and do but my next blog will be from land and a computer internet system that works!
