krabi

met up with ksenya in krabi yesterday and we've been eating delicious cheap street food constantly. there's some sort of festival in town so the night market has turned into your average american county fair, complete with a big performance stage, rows food and craft stalls, and tons of school kids. we've been eating at this festival, so i guess we've been eating the equivalent of corn dogs, funnel cakes, and kettle corn for every meal the past 2 days. its been good (and rainy).

today we took a ride to a temple outside of town and climbed the 1200+ steps up the limestone mountain to the gigantic golden buddha up at the top. it must have been 20 ft tall... we've been seeing it from krabi as a giant gold thing at the top of the mountain in the distance, but didn't realize that it was a buddha we were looking at till we got up there today.

headed to khao sok tomorrow, a national park with waterfalls, a lake, tons of hiking, and the possibility of canoeing or tubing. if anyone's been there before and has some suggestions, shoot me an email.

here's where we're going:
