Our new home ... for now.

This is the guest house at our little compound in Krabi where we are staying until our furniture and household goods arrive next month. It is really neat and has two small bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchen/dining area. Its all we need for now since we have only what we brought on the airplane. Athan and Sakorn's house is right in front of us and then across from them is our house. I'll try and get of picture of all three so you can get a better idea of the total layout.

Its been very hot since we arrived but nothing unusual, except for us. What is unusual is it has been very dry, so everyone is hoping for some rain soon. Athan told me today that some areas are even starting to ration the use of water. So far we aren't effected. Our water does come from a well, so maybe that's why I'm not sure.

Below is what it looks like from the front steps of the guest house. You can see the corner of the back of Athan & Sakorn's house and the karsts just beyond our property. The picture doesn't do justice to how they look in person. We couldn't see them when we got here in the middle of the night, so the next morning when we got up we were treated to this incredible view. It was just jaw-dropping to say the least. They just seem to shoot right up out of the ground in front of us and have this sort of prehistoric look to them. Really cool, I think.

Right in front and just to the right is the plant nursery. Sakorn has done an outstanding job of planting all sorts of native plants. Some are just for looks and shade , and some are fruit producing like papaya and banana trees.
