The Whirlind of Thailand

Got off the plane, hot and muggy,  different smells and sounds.  A little disconcerted until I saw my friend James had made it to the airport.  After a week I have learned a little.  First,  there are traffic laws but they are more just suggestions.  Traveling around is a series of near misses and close calls.  Second, the people are so amazing. Eating and hospitality is a big deal.  People who make a fraction of what people make in the states will not stop serving great food.  Third,  Phuket is a dangerous place for someone trying to serve God.  A modern day Sodom and Gamorrah.  A city that rents or sells outright her children to rich foreigners for a hefty profit.  Not everyone is like that in the city mind you.  A lot of really nice people just trying to make a way.  It still had my head spinning most of the week, but i really love it.  Such an amazing time!
