Thailand: Ao Nang 2

Today, after settling at the hostel we went to the beach. As the boys drank their beer, I headed straight for the water. It was later in the afternoon, 4:30 or so. The beaches were nice and the sand in the water was soft. I waded out until I was chest deep and decided to float. With my head half underwater all sound disappeared except the sound of my breathing inside my head. I could see a touch of green in my peripheral vision but it was mostly blue sky and swirling clouds. The sun was hidden by a cloud bank. Laying in the water was a really relaxing moment. Buffeted gently by the waves and no cares to worry about is abrather freeing moment. It's amazing to me how caught up I can get in everything around me, things I'm doing or missing out on, the future, etc. Just sitting in the water gave me a buoyant attitude that has lasted all evening. (Pun intended) 

I also spent some time roaming the beach and looking for shells. Now, I'm sitting at a bar with great cocktail deals sipping on a MaiTai ... When in Thailand. 

Until next time.
