Amazingly beautiful, Paul. Thanks for this. It shows you did the right thing in going to “distant” Thailand. (Thinking about our conversation when we sat in the sun of Camden Town last week.)
Oh – and I need help if possible at the dashboard of wp again. I want to add pics and text but can’t. Yet. Thanks.

Paul – did you film this? Absolutely incredible! Seeing the divers nearby puts the whale shark’s massive size into perspective. I love this (still don’t want to dive but happy that you did!)

now then, this is extremely random..the dire hell of schlonging around in an airport for twelve hours led me to googling random blogs with books i enjoy in them. how cheeky! this could be hilariously wrong but could you be PAUL from crystal dive? the wasp factory, as i lay dying and something about koh tao would lead me to believe so. if you are not, do ignore my spilly train of thought. if you are indeed this said paul, i am the girl with the obese sprained ankle and the room that epitomized vile.

This is Lynne. Remember me?
I miss you. I think you should come home via DC (whenever that is) and then I can see your face. It’s been a long time. Hope you’re having a marvelous time traversing the globe, friend.

Comment on Chile – Valparaíso – La Lucha Libre by Paul

the scene was pretty splendid. i was a bit nonplussed for a moment: in the boxing match beforehand, a squat man built like a heap of porkchops broke a taller fellow’s ribs. kidney shots are apparently not out of bounds here. but then they started playing metal and lit up a sheet with a colored disco light for the luchadores to burst through, and i knew everything would be all right.
