I think I like it here

Moto'ed around the island (litrally, all the way around) today to get a lay of the land. So much to explore here!

Bought a mango and a papaya for lunch and took it to the beach, accompanied by tunes from a $4 rechargeable portable speaker I picked up at Central Market in PP. Took a nice long swim and read on the beach for the rest of the afternoon.

Post shower, took off on the moto again in search of some dinner. Stopped at an open air market, and I bought chicken breast on a stick and a beer for my appetizers. Aaron picked up some fried squid and fish ball kebabs. Moved on to an authentic Thai noodle soup street stand/restaurant. Back to the open air market to try some unfamiliar sweet-looking things like a thick pancake with coconut filling, green tea shake, and a taco-looking thing with egg, coconut, and raisins.

So full! Will be turning in early to take a barefoot run on the beach in the morning.

P.S. A whole post dedicated to my love affair with @Coffee-time is forthcoming. Plans to visit tomorrow (will keep the streak of going each day since we arrived) and ask the very nice propriator for a brief Thai lesson.
