Who's Shoes?




Good:  We had a very fun dinner at "Nature Rocks" resort.  Two of the waiters were completely enamored of Kalin.  They repeatedly invited her out dancing (with her sister of course) despite the fact that her parents were promising to lock her in her room.  One gave her a bottle of honey, which made her turn bright red.  After we left, Kalin asked me to run back for a photo with the hottie and the honey.  It was his turn to turn bright red. 

Bad:  The rocking party lasted until 4:00 in morning!  At least we think it was four.  We slept pretty well-considering.  It is amazing how one can tune out a heart thumping bass.

Surprising:  So, I bought these wonderful 'crocs' knock offs for walking around at the beach because I hate, I mean hate, flip flops.  Even when I was 15, and everyone who was anyone wore them all the time, I did not wear them.  Too painful.  Well, my loving 15 year discovered how much easier it is to walk with the crocs, and, being the devoted mother that I am, I traded.
You may not know it, but it is very customary to take off ones shoes indoors in Thailand.  In this case, we take them off when we go on the deck at the Siam Huts.  Do you know how many black flip flops there are in the world.  Lots.  Lots and lots.  
Well, to cut to the chase.   It took me more than a day to realize that I took the wrong pair of flip flops on one of my trips off the deck.  Oh, well.  Too late now.  But if you ever where black flip flops here-leave your mark on them.

is this a contest, well we are making it one. Check. Ok hannah and sasha here working together. White flip flops- Kalin, Black with poka-dots- maya, hannah knows cause she borrowed them, plus they're a little big for her and i think thats how she likes them. Leather sandals on right, rinda- because they are soooo rindy-loo-hoo, and the dorky elastic sandals manufacture by subaru (only 1% emissions) are lailas. In short- c'mon gals, we need a challenge.
love, hannah and sasha
