The Interrupted Life: March 2014

I’ve decided that there is absolutely no way I can tell you everything that happened on my amazing adventure in Thailand. I wish I could, but you’d be spending the next 5+ hours reading and “ain’t nobody got time for that.”

So I’ll give you the highlights via pictures and a few short sentences to explain the craziness that I got myself into.

Well to start out, we went to Phuket (pronounced poo-ket) for 8. We were about a 7 minute walk from the beach-it was AWESOME!

We chilled at the beach a bunch and had awesome food.

While we were in Phuket, I turned 23. My travel buddies did an amazing job creating clues that told me what we would do throughout the day. I was so blessed and it was probably one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had.

We went to Tiger Kingdom, and yes they were real tigers and no they were not drugged. They sleep a lot. I showed the pictures to my Chinese brothers Jeff and Lee and they were like “Whoa! You are so brave!” Keep thinking that guys.

While we were in Phuket, we also got to go snorkeling at Surin Islands. We went out on a speed-boat to one of the islands, saw a Sea Gypsy village, snorkeled, hung out on a beach, and snorkeled some more. I was amazed at the beauty all around me, and it made me think of how awesome our Creator is.
