had a great time with ksenya in khao sok, one of the many jungle national parks in thailand. finally uploaded the pics... there are from about 2 weeks ago when we took a 1 day tour of the lake in the park. a 1 hr truck ride to the boat, then a magnificent motor boat ride through the reservoir (definitely man made). there were tons of shear limestone mountains throughout the reservoir which made the trip fly by. we motored out to a floating guesthouse. it was like going to lake in the summer in the US... complete with a dock, canoes to take out, a diving platform, and delicious thai food (just like mom used to make). we hike through dense jungle, through streams and mud, and up to a cave. with headlamps we climbed into the cave as far as possible.
on the hour long boat ride back, we got caught in a storm. it was a torrential downpour, but short luckily. unluckily, it turns out that only 1 person gets really wet in a torrential downpour when a boat is going really fast on a lake. its the first person. i was completely soaked and everyone else was dry. i should have clued in when the guide - who had been sitting in the front of the boat - decided to move to the very back right before we hit the storm.
