Lost on Earth

Katie left this morning and I am glum. It was so nice to have fluent conversation, a friend that I have known my whole life, and her sense of humor here for company. Together we traveled from the far north to the upper southern gulf, shopping mercilessly, drinking daiquiris out of glasses shaped like naked women, getting kicked out of market stalls, soaking in a mineral pool, discussing intricate topics such as the multifaceted mysteries of chocolate and our annoyance at unwanted body hair. Oh, and we went snorkeling but our masks kept leaking.

To console myself I moved into a different guest house. A sullen lady boy wearing a blue headband with a bow checked me in. now I have three days to kill in Bangkok until Jon arrives on Friday.
