...we'd arrived! Meredith geeking out over the ridiculous ocean-view!

I snapped a quick group photo...

Meredith's eyes really bring out the ocean.

Mer doesn't like scuba diving (she has trouble equalizing the pressure in her ears) but she was excited to snorkel around the reef while we were diving.

After breakfast, we relaxed in lounge chairs on the beach...

The next morning we woke up before 5am and went downstairs to swim in the hotel's gorgeous edgeless pool that's right down near the beach. (Meredith's in the pool, but you can see the ocean right behind her).

I think this is about as far in to the water as any of us went.

Debating whether or not to do in.

...look who I found waiting for me! Meredith had just finished some snorkeling and was waiting in the water for us to return!

We left Chaweng and drove about 40 minutes to Lamai Beach to see Hin Ta and Hin Yai (Grandpa & Grandma). They are two natural rock formations that are supposed to look like male and female genitalia, respectively!

Meredith is like 200 yards from the sand and the water is still only ankle deep!

Hey, most of you being smarter than me probably already know this, but just in case any of you out there are as dumb as me, here's a little factoid for you: the Pacific Ocean is FUCKING FREEZING! WTF?? You can't swim in there! Here's a picture of Meredith getting the soles of her feet wet moments before screaming and running back to dry land. Damn. That shit was so hold it felt hot! Like and ocean of lava. Fack!

Cliffy!

Then we ran down the slope to check out the sea view.
