Phuket and all its glory

Hi from Patong, Phuket! It has been quite a rainy day which has left us not having much opportunity to wander the streets. We were able to take a moto drive this morning to go and see the "Big Buddha" which is considered the largest buddha in Thailand. It sits atop one of the highest mountains in the area with terrific ocean views. On the drive back through Kata and Karon Beach, we stopped at hotspot called After Beach for lunch. We were a little surprised to see that the entire restaurant was run by none other than the Thai "Lady Boys" the equivalent to a drag queen in the states. The view from the restaurant is stunning and I will include that video soon. This afternoon we returned to the guesthouse and relaxed while the rain came down for quite some time. Once it cleared we headed back out for dinner. I am having such a great time and we are probably going to go bungy jumping in the next few days!

Happy 23rd birthday to my beautiful sister, Katie! Hope you celebrate in full.

Mama, I miss you lots and please give Nellers a squeeze and kiss for me.

Daddy, Love you and hope all is well.

Below are a couple of videos we shot last night while walking around the bustling streets of Patong Beach.
