woke up at 6:15am. got breakfast and lunch of 6 cheese sandwhiches, 2 orders of toast. take a taxi thing ("sawwww....thing") to bus station. take a bus to erawin national park. dropped off at front of park with no map. see seven waterfalls on 2k hike. see 10 Israeli people. see an older white man bathing with two much younger asian women. park rangers don't allow food beyond the second waterfall, which posed a problem for us as we need to eat every hour. hid the bag of peanuts in linda's bathing suit. saw all waterfalls. returned and picked up our food, ate lunch, swam in waterfall pools. saw a group of little kids from the bangkok international school. back to guesthouse at 4pm. lovely outdoorsey day planned entirely by us.
do some laundry in afternoon. disgusting to discover how much dirt accumulates in shorts worn every day for a week. dinner at own guesthouse.
quotes of the day: "what if I'm hypo-glycemic?" (adina, to the park ranger who wouldn't let us bring food past the first 500 meters on our 2k waterfall hike. #1: thai man probably had absolutely no idea what that meant. #2: I am not a hypo-glycemic. i just eat like one.
"oh, she knows where her pachotch is. I know, I saw." (rachelle)
"it's pretty self-explanatory, if you know what a pachotch is" (rachelle who gets all the pachotch quotes)
"...well, now that about a gallon of water just came out of my butt..." (anonymous case of travelers' diarrhea.)
