Ko Samet

Last weekend I went to the island Ko Samet for a Thai Youth Theatre conference. It was a lovely place to have a conference and very relaxing. Here is a picture of a bunch of some of the volunteers that came....from Left to Right: Sarah, Me, Merissa, Katie, and Becky. We are at a cafe on the beach.

They were building a statue on some rocks by the beach where we were staying. It is of a Thai mermaid and a person summoning her with an instrument. The intricate statues they make are truely beautiful.
The above picture is of my volunteer friend Liesbeth and I. We, and some of the girls, took a hike through the woods and found this beautiful cove at the end. The bottom three pictures are of a fire show. Every night, many of the cafes on the beach would have fire shows where they would set sticks on fire and spin them about. The first picture is of a boy doing it. He was really really good. The last picture is just creative. I love how they are spinning the fire so fast they just show up as blurs in the pictures.
