Break bone fever can't break me.....

Hey all....I'm not dead. In fact, we're both alive and rested after a week off of school here in Surat Thani. It was exam weeek so spoken English was canceled. Canceled classes=island hopping in the Andaman Sea for Caleb and Codie. We spent the last few days on a tiny island called Koh Libong. We spent the week looking for manatees (no such luck) and snorkeling among the eels, jelly fish, and pretty much an aquarium of tropical fish. We're not ones to just look so we also ate the best fish we have had since coming here to Thailand three nights in a row. My rash and spots have now turned to a nice glowing tan and Codie was able to celebrate her birthday morning on a deserted beach. Pretty nice.
One highlight of the week was taking a longtail boat to another island, Koh Muk, and swimming through an 80 meter cave to an innner lagoon to swim some more. It was beautiful and a little scary when our guide's flashlight broke and we were swimming in pitch dark through a cave. I had multiple thoguhts of drowning and/or being eaten by a sea monster.
