The tsunami

In the evening we walk to the beach that is in front of the hotel. It is the cleanest beach that I have been to. I ask someone what happened to the beach when the tsunami hit. He points out how far the water had come up. The hotel itself had been spared.

There are folks sun bathing on lounge chairs, up and down the beach. We go and sit on one, but someone comes up and says that it costs 50 baht ($1 USD). We don't plan on staying long, so we elect to get up and walk along the beach.

My friend has a new Canon Digital SLR and we take shots of the evening sun as it sets in spectacular fashion.

Walking up the road, we spy a bar that is out in the open. We order our drinks and chit chat. Travel had exhausted us and we decide to hit the bed early.
