Dee Mahk Mahk!
Things are dee mahk mahk!!!!!
Elephant Nature Park was amazing (of course). There were 3 new elephants that I spent some time with, we did another Jumbo Express trip to a village very close to where I went the first time, I actually did work that helped out the Park this time (picking up elephant poo, washing this shelter that was going to be painted the next day, doing inventory for a medicine cabinet, trying to clean/organize the storage room), met a whole new batch of interesting people, got to catch up with people I knew from last time, ate a ton of really good food, learned more Thai and a little Burmese, and on the last day 2 more elephants came. It was really really nice and the week went by way too fast.
And last night at the Sunday markets I bought two new hats. They're really cool.
Tomorrow I'm going back to Koh Pha Ngan and then on the 29th I fly to Hong Kong to get my plane back to New York on February 1st.
If you're wondering if I'm freaking out about all of "this" ending and going back to "the real world" the answer is yes. Very very much so. I'll write more later but right now I've got to get to that Hill Tribe Museum!

i second beau's request for photo documentation of said hats.
sorry that the much anticipated return of beth to the us (um, i mean "the states") also means the leaving of beth from thailand. kicky dancy baby is one of the many beth-anticipators, so there's that.
and Santa's still poised in the living room waiting to sing and dance for you... (oh wait - maybe that's a reason to NOT want to come home...)
Hi Beth,
So glad to see another Beth blog. I can't tell you how many times I check to see " what's new" even when I know there's no possible way you would have had a chance to post something.
One thing about your re-entering the real world..you carry something special with you. Your real world will always be filled with magic and adventure..no matter where you are and what you're doing.
Can't wait to see you. I am organizing my list of questions that started the day you left here got on the plane to hong kong.
Love,
Barbara
