Phuket, Thailand

Tuesday, June 30
In the morning, we said goodbye to Bangkok and hello to Phuket, an island south of landlocked Thailand. Essentially, we left a bustling metropolis for a tropical paradise. Our gorgeous hotel right on the beach agreed to host us for four days as long as we sang one concert for its guest. We happily obliged.

Rather than motor-biking around the island, I decided to just enjoy the beach resort. I ate the breakfast buffet, got a Thai massage and swam in the pool. In the evening, we sang our concert for about forty of the hotel's guests. Not a bad deal.

Not much to report here: I got another Thai massage (this time with Jesse) and read (I'm currently reading American Pastoral by Philip Roth). Tomorrow, we leave this splendid island for a completely different country, at least topographically: Nepal.
